The flows are still dropping throughout the system and wading is no longer an issue this morning. Water temperatures look good with most of the system in the mid 50’s. Hendricksons are still holding on in some sections and the March Brown hatch is progressing with some fish eating them. We have seen huge amounts of caddis lately and the fish have been rising to them when they are are on the surface. Today feels like a great blue winged olive day so definitely have that box ready. The lower water levels have made nymphing a more viable option and we are catching fish before the hatch on the mayfly nymphs and caddis pupa. We should see some rain showers today but the forecasted totals are negligible. Air temperatures will be around 60 which is a welcome relief after the July-type temperatures over the weekend.
