By yesterday evening, the water had cleared up enough to produce some decent dry fly fishing. Sulphurs, iso’s, and some small olives were among the hatches yesterday. Many places are now becoming wadable, and more should become available by this evening. With these higher water levels, the fish should be less cautious and the hatches more plentiful.
A great fish taken just before dark!
