Water temps are holding on pretty well throughout the river system. People are spread out and finding fish in odd spots for the beginning of August. But if it’s sunny and you’re looking for daytime hatching your best bet is still to head close to the dams. Sulphurs, olives, and Isonychias. The lower river is fishing well on overcast and rainy days. Bright sun has made it tougher than normal. We’ll be cool again today at 76 degrees with light wind. We should see some decent cloud cover move in this afternoon.
