There is thick fog this morning that should burn off in a couple of hours. People are catching some fish on streamers before the bright sun hits the water. Once the sun hits nymphs and wet flies will be a good choice. Blind casting Isonychias in the riffles could also pay off. Keep an eye out for caddis in the riffles. The olive, Heptagenia, and Isonychia hatches may be a pushed a little later in the day due to the bright sun and warm temps.

Today will be 83 degrees with fog early turning to sunshine. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the South.

Olive Sulphur – # 18 – 20 – Heptagenia hebe
