We had a bit of rain overnight but the river flows are about the same as yesterday morning. Overall a lot of nice fish hit the net yesterday. There are a lot of different bugs on the water but the intensity of the hatches varies by river section, time of day, and the weather. So move, be patient, and watch the riffles for the caddis eaters. Olives and caddis are around in good numbers. There have been coffin flies on some river sections along with the March Browns, Gray Fox, cahills, and sulphurs. It’s the time of year you don’t want to get off the river early. Nymphing and wets are your best bets early but we should start seeing some mid morning cornutas soon.
Today will be 66 degrees with a mix of clouds and sun. Wind will be 10 – 15 mph from the North.
