The flows and water temperatures look good throughout the system this morning. The forecast is calling for sun, a few clouds, and some very small brief showers during the afternoon. Hopefully the clouds stick around a little longer and we get some daytime hatches. Accuweather is calling for similar weather for the rest of the week except we should see a few more clouds and a little more precipitation. It looks like we are heading into a decent fishing week.
We have seen fish rising to the usual suspects of isonychias, sulphurs, and olives – plus a few golden drakes are being eaten for good measure. Nymphs and streamers have been producing fish in between hatches. The levels are great for wading and floating.
