The warm up begins today with the air temp predicted to be 70 degrees. Clouds will give way to sun and the wind will be 5 -10 mph from the south. Sounds like a really nice day to be on the water. We’re still seeing a good mix of bugs with hendricksons, blue quills, olives, grannoms, and apple caddis all out there now. If the fish seem too picky over your fly take a close look at what they are really eating. Yesterday was windy but there were some fish rising in the afternoon. Nymphing has been good before and after the hatching. The next two days of warm weather makes it feel like spinner time. Let’s hope they have the wind forecast correct.
