The water temps have stabilized with the recent cooler weather to below 60 degrees. Still always keep fish in the water and keep handling to a minimum. River levels are dropping again rapidly . Good action on attractors ants and beatles. slow early wait until it warms up. If you find fish work the water as they are starting to bunch up
