The rivers are still dropping back this morning and it looks like no rain in the forecast until some light showers on Friday. The air temperatures are down a bit but the hendricksons and blue quills are still hatching and fish are still eating them off the surface in the afternoon. We will see some sun over the next few days which should help warm the water temperatures a bit and maybe push the hatching a little earlier. It should also make the caddis a little more active and we may see some egg layers in the afternoon. Streamers have been catching fish before the hatches start. Winds look light today peaking around 8 mph.
