Don't Even Think About It.

  It got up to 60 degrees today but without the sun there wasn't much improvement in the water temps. There was a downstream breeze that was a little troublesome at times, but the main problem was the lack of the sunshine needed to warm up the water.  The bugs (all kinds of them) wanted to hatch but the water was just a bit too cold.

We had bugs from 2:00 until about 4:30, but not as many as yesterday and the bigger fish just weren't up. Yesterday our smallest fish was sixteen inches, today our biggest fish was seventeen inches. Yesterday we were well satisfied with both how we fished and what we caught. Today not so much. We ended up rowing out when both the bugs and the fish quit. Two other boats floated the same water we did. they appeared to be throwing at fish but we never saw them net any.

Update Friday am. - -

The outlook for the rest of the week looks grim. The rivers are blown out from last nights rain, not a bit of sun is expected to appear until Monday and rain is in the forecast every day until then. Stay home, watch the water levels and temperatures, it looks like it'll be a while before the things get going.
