Water temps are warm and will get above 68 today and tomorrow. fish higher on the system and avoid anything at or over 68F.

You’ll see some Iso’s, Cahills, Dark Sedge caddis and BWO’s around as well as plenty of small sz16 and sz 18 Sulphurs. If you aren’t on the water for the evening hatch a well swung wet fly, dead drifted Iso Emerger, dead drift Pheasant tail nymph, caddis pupa in a riffle, or dead drift spent caddis may find a fish. Swinging soft hackles is another good option if you are just ahead of the hatch for the day. Fish late as end of day spinners are fishing well as the light drops at sunset until dark.
