HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!

Some of our guests had the right idea today – hang out in the hammock or around the pool until later in the afternoon. Bright sun and hot temps all day kept activity at a near standstill out on the water. The evening saw some pretty decent activity, but the fish decided it was their time to be picky (as if they need an excuse!). Today we’ve already got some decent low-level cloud cover, so the morning may show us a few BWOs and left over spinners from last night. Temps are supposed to stay below 80 today, but the sun is still going to be there, with hopefully more cloud cover to pick up the action.

Downriver there are a TON of these Pteronarcys stoneflies coming out at night. Hopefully they will move up river, and we may just get some night fishing action. (recycled)Photo by: Jeff White
