Yesterday was a repeat of the last few days. Fish were landed on dries, streamers, and nymphs. People are catching fish on river sections that have hendricksons hatching and people are also catching fish on river sections that haven’t seen a lot of hendricksons yet. This is feeling like the kind of year you need all of your boxes with you because it will be bug soup soon. The early bugs will overlap and be a little out of order but eventually we will settle down into the normal hatch progression. An don’t overlook the caddis right now…
We have a light rain and overcast sky this morning. It will be a little cooler with an afternoon high around 60 degrees. It looks like the rain will continue and be light for most of the day with an accumulation of a little over 1/4″. The ground should soak a lot of that up with the trees and bushes budding.
