Please watch the temp on the Mainstem today. It peaked at 66 degrees yesterday and is staring off much warmer than yesterday morning. We’re back on a warmer trend so the best shot at daytime dry fly fishing will be in the coldest water sections. Once the sun burns the fog off look for the water with the best hatching temperature, There are still some small sulphurs and olives. The other river sections could have some activity early and late in the day. Nymphing or swinging wets is probably the best bet but you can blind cast some bigger flies like Isonychias, golden drakes, or even white flies. Have some flying ants on you too.
Today will be 84 degrees with abundant sunshine. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the North.
