Some river sections saw decent Hendricksons mixed in with olives and blue quills yesterday. The little black caddis and a few stoneflies are still around too. The sections that didn’t report good Hendricksons reported really good olive hatches. It sounded hard to make a bad decision yesterday. Just about everyone we spoke with had some kind of good dry fly action. It’s cool this morning but should warm up into the low 60’s this afternoon. We have cloud cover and the chance of light rain. Light wind. Today should fish really well.
Dan Williamson found some eating on top yesterday
