River Report / Conditions – April 23, 2018

April 23, 2018, Author: Patrick Cook

Another tough day yesterday.  Most anglers we spoke with reported seeing a good number of BWO’s, some Blue Quills, a lot of caddis and a few Quill Gordons, but the fish never came to the surface with any degree of consistency.  The streamer bite was also generally slow.  A couple of anglers managed to get the attention of a couple of fish by dead drifting a streamer under a bobber.  The forecast for today is calling for sunny skies with a high of 65 degrees and winds out of the SSE at 5-10 mph.

If you’re in the area on Saturday, stop by the shop to see our friends from Sage as we host their On the Water Tour.
