The air temp dropped and we should peak around 54 degrees. Not bad for the end of October. Cloud cover and wind 5 – 10 from the North should make this a decent fishing day. Most people are starting off with nymphs right now and finding some fish on dries in the afternoon. The water is still high on the tailwaters so you need slower pools for the fish to really set up on the little bugs.
