Current Report / Information

Water temps are in the low to mid 40’s with these last couple cold days. The extended forecast shows us with air temps from the low 40’s over the last couple days to the 50’s and 60’s going forward. The tailwaters are in good shape for wade fishing. The freestones are in fine shape for wading as well. The water temps will push back up into the high 40’s and low 50’s as the week goes along.

Spring can come and go on certain days but we make the best of it. A rain jacket, plenty of optimism, and a back up plan are a few things you shouldn’t leave home without. Once the water temps hit and hold at or above the 50F mark we should see our first considerable mayfly hatches follow. I’ve seen a few hendricksons start to hatch in the afternoon but the main hatch hasn’t ramped up yet. Small grey sedge caddis are around and some egg laying early stones still around as well.

Nymphs and Wet flies will be the best way to drum up action this early in the season. Streamers if we get some stain to the water. We will be watching for Quill Gordons, Hendricksons, and Olives as things warm a bit under water.
