The weather will be warm for the next week, expect temps to hang around the mid 80's.
Techniques & Tips as of 6/30/22
Nymphing will continue to be effective with crayfish and mayfly nymphs. Throw on the largest pheasant tail you have to imitate those larger drake nymphs. Worms and stonefly nymphs will continue to work as well especially with the higher than average flows. Don't be afraid to throw a dry dropper rig once the water clarity has improved. Fish will start to look up as insect activity and water temps increase.
