It is starting to feel like late April all over again – the water is high but clear, streamers are working, and fish feeding on dry flies can be found as well – great fishing if you have a boat! Still too big for wade fishing, unfortunately, but for those with watercraft (or going out with a guide) the rivers are fishing great, and should continue to do so!
