Many of use woke up to temps in the teen's and low 20's with an even colder windchill.  We are forecast to top out in the 30's today with much of the same on Saturday.  Sunday we are looking at 47 respectfully and 50's Monday with a 80% chance of rain.  Layering up will allow you to have a longer stay on the water.

Duke is scheduled to run the East Fork of the Tuck today from 6 am til 2 pm this afternoon. Saturday and Sunday shows the same schedule if they stick to it. The Nantahala is scheduled to run from 7 am til 10 am today.

We are still landing trout and in my opinion the trout are full of energy with this shot of colder weather.  I talked to people who had pretty good success yesterday and I expect this weekend to be a pretty good weekend of catch and release fishing.  I recommend tiny nymphs coupled with a larger point nymph.  Also emerging patterns should produce fish later in the day.  Keep an eye out for some Blue Winged Olives and don't be afraid of trying some tiny dry midge patterns.

Tight Lines!
