Caddis seemed to be the answer yesterday. There were some hendricksons, blue quills, and even a few quill gordons around but the fish seemed to want to eat caddis. It was warm with bright sun and one of the nicest days to be out there. We were all hoping for a little cloud cover but the sun felt really good. Today we should get the clouds. The forecast is calling for warm air temperatures in the mid 60’s, light winds most of the day with a few afternoon gusts, and clouds. We should see the normal mix of caddis, hendricksons, and blue quills. The cloud cover should make the fish a little more comfortable and not as picky. Today looks like it will be a really good day.
