The rain we expected yesterday seems to have gone around us! Finally we catch a little bit of a break! All three rivers are steadily dropping, and we have seen some clearing in the river outside of the shop. There is still a good deal of turbidity (cloudiness), but not so much that fish won’t break through looking for some dry flies if they present themselves, and if you are in slower water. Black has been the streamer color of choice, with white a very close runner-up, depending on your proximity to the dam (white works better the closer you get). Have a great Sunday everyone!
