Overview

A bad day of fishing is better than a good day at work!

Current Conditions

The sun was bright and the weather was calm and warm. Temperatures scaling in at 50 degrees all day long brought many to the attraction. The fish were holding surprisingly well and were very easy to spot in the clear water. However, putting a size 22 midge on 6x into a fishes mouth was very difficult to accomplish. It is defiantly a transitional period for fish and fisherman.
