Yesterday fished well again. Good cloud cover and good hatches. Hendricksons and olives on the West while the lower East and Mainstem have some March Browns, Gray Fox, cahills, and sulphurs. Caddis and olives. Nymphing or swinging wets before the hatches have been productive. On the cloudy days start looking for the mayflies around noon or 1. Caddis can be active and on the water anytime so watch the riffles for the occasional slashy rise. Some days the spinners have come midday with the hatches and other days they’ve fallen a bit later.
Today will be 77 degrees with partial cloud cover in the morning. Cloud cover will increase in the afternoon with a slight chance of rain. Wind will be 5 – 10 from the South.
