Yesterday was just to nice to stay indoors. I had to wash a boat anyway after a trip from the day before so i decided to go ahead and float for a bit. So here's a the short and sweet of it all. I put i at the powerhouse boat ramp with one generator flow around 1700 cfs around noon. While drifting down river i rigged up with dry dropper combination to throw at any rising fish i came across. The warmer weather that we are having now is really bringing the bugs out and fish are rising from one end of the river to the other. I did stop a little here and there to watch some fish rise and to see how many were actually coming to the top. The trout are spread out all over the river and so are the bugs. If this year continues on the way it's going then get ready for a great season because it's going to be good. The bugs that i'm seeing are Winter Stones, Blue Wings, and Midges. The fish are taking a little bit of everything, for me a combination of chicabou caddis and small bwo's have been the best, but the fish are eating elk hair caddis and adams patterns as well.
