[b]REPORTS: This river fished yesterday on a variety of offerings from streamers to PMDs. Expect more of the same today. The fish have definitely been looking up, even in the wind. Short line streamer and nymph rigs can be a good alternative if it gets to howling up here, but overall, a sparkle bodied golden stone will be your best bet. Brown, yellow and/or tan streamers have been rippin' some major fatties as well.
HATCHES: Salmonflies, caddis, green drakes, golden stones, PMDs.
FLIES: Bigger salmonflies and goldens, button emerger and cripple green drakes, #12 or 14 royal Wulffs, deep and slow tandem nymph rigs, brown, olive or black streamers in the clouds, brighter colors like peach and yellow in the sun. Big fuzzy junk that you can strip across the surface for fluttering caddis.
WEATHER: Today. Mostly sunny. Highs 79 to 84. West winds 10 to 20 mph in the afternoon. Tonight. Clear. Lows 43 to 48. Northwest winds around 15 mph in the evening. Monday. Sunny and warmer. Highs 85 to 90. Monday night. Clear. Lows 49 to 54. Tuesday through Friday night. Partly cloudy each afternoon and evening. Otherwise mostly clear. Hot with highs 89 to 98. Lows 50 to 60.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: While the rivers are in decent shape now, warming water will almost certainly be an issue within the next few weeks if the hot spells set in again. [/b]
