The wind was tough yesterday but there were enough breaks to get the fish eating on top. We’re seeing a lot of caddis in the air and enough on the water to get the fish interested. Hendricksons are still around offering some emerger fishing. The spinners should begin to fall once we get a few days of warm air temps and light winds. Some people did well nymphing through the wind while other just waited for the gusts to stop. Having a few clouds pass over was a great change. We get the full sun back today with a forecast of air temperatures hitting the mid 60’s and winds of 1 – mph. The menu hasn’t changed so carry most of your Spring patterns out there.
