Flows are looking great today across the board. Water temperatures dipped a little last night, hopefully priming conditions for a good day of fishing today with the mostly sunny forecast. As temperatures start to warm, we should see an increase in fish and insect activity as the day progresses. Streamers work well at these flows and we suspect there will be some surface action as well. Nymphing is also a great option this time of year, and has probably been the most productive technique over the past couple weeks.
