Today will be warm and sunny which should get the caddis active a little earlier. The mayflies may come a little later with the sun and it does look like a good evening for spinners. The hatches will vary based on the rivers you’re fishing. No matter where you are have some blue wing olives, apple caddis, tan caddis, and Hendrickson spinners just to cover the bases. On the lower river sections we’re seeing March Browns, Gray Fox, some cahills, and even a some sulphurs beginning to hatch. On the upper river sections we’re seeing a few Hendricksons and even a few blue quills left. The rivers are in great shape and the levels are perfect for floating and wading.
Today will be 77 degrees with plentiful sunshine. Wind will be light and variable.
