Despite some adverse weather yesterday, all the anglers I spoke with got into fish. Water temps are starting out much warmer today, however the wind is going to help keep the bugs off the water. On Wednesday I floated and saw my first Redquill of the season. We are getting heavy thunderstorms tonight, and the reservoirs will continue to spills. No alewives have been reported spilling over. Surface temperatures need to be about 51* to get alewives ready for spawning. Judging by Stilesvilles temperatures, the surface is no where near that.
Hatching:
Blue Quills (Paraleps) #16-18

Chimarra Caddis – Not very important as an Adult, but swinging little black soft hackles in riffs can be productive. #16 -18
Little Black/Brown Stoneflies – #14-18
Midges #20-26
