Fall Line Outfitters Co.'s Tip of the Week
Baetis (Blue Wing Olives) duns are starting to be seen riding the surface. Variable weather with some percipitation usually aligns with their emergences. Planning an hour or two outing in the afternoon will give you the best shot at seeing the first mayflies of the year hatch, and maybe in enough quantities to enduce the trout to feed despite the cooler water temps.

Water Flow Data
5-Day Outlook as of 3/21/24
Lots of snow with air temperatures in the 30s and 40s means runoff. As the snow melts, it will raise water levels, color the water, as well as cool down the water.
Techniques & Tips as of 3/21/24
Dead drift weighted nymphs early in the day. Let nymphs swing out at the end of a presentation as the naturals begin hatching. Switch to emergers or dries in the surface film as the hatch progresses.
