REPORTS: Water temps are definately an issue by about 1 on the lower river. If you intend to fish all day head to the upper stretches and keep a close eye on temps. The Hopper/dropper rigs, beetles and ants are the best bugs right now. If you can't get the fish on top try dropping a #14-#16 p-tail off the back of something big and fishing the deep riffles. The cooler weather in the forecast will turn things around in a hurry up here, look for the fishing to improve dramatically by this weekend.
HATCHES: Caddis, golden stones, PMDs, terrestrials.
FLIES: More realistically sized mayfly offerings such as parachute Adams, comparaduns or cripples in the 14 to 16 range. Hopper and ant patterns are also working well now. Try tossing big ugly junk with lots of rubber legs. Slow moving streamers will also be a good option.
WEATHER: Today. Isolated showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon. Partly cloudy. Highs 89 to 96. Tonight. Slight chance of showers and thunderstorms in the evening. Partly cloudy in the evening then clearing. Lows 50 to 57. Tuesday and Tuesday night. Partly cloudy. Highs 89 to 96. Lows 49 to 56. Wednesday and Wednesday night. Partly cloudy. Highs 87 to 95.
