We got some pretty strong thunderstorms yesterday evening but they got thru the area pretty quickly.  The rain fall should not affect the water levels that much today.  We are looking at a high of 71 degrees today with a 62% chance of rain.  All in all it looks like a pretty good day to fish.

You can expect a West Fork release all day today with an East Fork Release occurring at 3 PM today.  The East Fork release should not negatively impact any wading today.  I am predicting a good amount of anglers on the water today and even a few drift boats making their way to a takeout.

I am hearing many stories of what is and isn't working.  Eggs are the ticket for some people, buggers are working well, girdle bugs are always a good choice, and worm patterns.  Dry fly activity is taking place late evenings and that is a fun time to have the river to yourself and cast to rising trout.

Yellow Sallies are showing up in mountain streams right now and you can land trout top water with a yellow body dry fly.  Watch out for snakes as you make your way to these areas as we are guest in their home.  We are seeing a few ants crawling and even a few small grasshoppers.

My advice is to get out if you can and fish!  You can't catch them if your fly is not in the water.

Tight Lines!
