Yesterday was a bright sunny one with some light winds. There were a few wind gusts that made you turn around but they were so infrequent they didn’t bother the fishing at all. The Hendricksons and Apple Caddis are still working their way up the system and we had pretty decent hatching yesterday. The fish were happy and ended up rising despite the bright sun. We are still seeing Blue Quills mixed in plus Hendrickson spinners in the evening. All in all yesterday was one of the best fishing days of the year so far.
Today’s weather should be a carbon copy of yesterday. The rivers dropped slightly overnight but the amount was negligible. Winds should be 6 gusting to 10 mph.
