REPORTS: The hatches will intensify throughout the day with scores of PMDs and green drakes. There will also be a showing of caddis that'll keep the action going right up until dark tonight. In the hot and sunny weather, expect to have the fish looking more for the big junk like golden stones and generalized attractor patterns like madam Xs and Tarrantulas. While you're not liable to have the quality of dryfly fishing today that there was only a couple of days ago in the clouds, once this river acclimates to the sunny weather, it'll swing again. That should be VERY soon.
HATCHES: Caddis, march browns (still), green drakes, giant golden stones, salmonflies, PMDs.
FLIES: Tan or yellow buggers. Large prince nymphs and bright red San Juan worms, Rogue stones (orange and gold), button emerger green drakes, drake cripples, extended body drakes, elk hairs and Goddards in a #12, smaller parachute Adams (like a 16 or 18).
WEATHER: TODAY...PARTLY CLOUDY IN THE MORNING THEN CLEARING... HIGHS 77 TO 83 TONIGHT...CLEAR... LOWS 42 TO 47 TUESDAY...MOSTLY SUNNY... HIGHS 83 TO 88 TUESDAY NIGHT...MOSTLY CLEAR... LOWS 43 TO 48 WEDNESDAY...SUNNY... HIGHS 86 TO 92 WEDNESDAY NIGHT...MOSTLY CLEAR... LOWS 43 TO 48 THURSDAY...MOSTLY SUNNY... HIGHS 86 TO 91 THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY...MOSTLY CLEAR... LOWS 45 TO 50... HIGHS 86 TO 92. FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...MOSTLY CLEAR... LOWS 45 TO 50... HIGHS 82 TO 89.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: If the mayfly action is less than stellar, go to big attractors with flashback p-tail droppers. Look for the heat to really get the evening caddis going.
