Opening day a week away

Opening day is just a week away and things couldn’t be looking much better. Rivers are continuing to drop and warm, meaning just about any place you want to fish will be accessible barring a major rain event next week. (Rain is forecast for this weekend.) Some of the larger rivers remain difficult to wade but even those can be fished from bank-side positions. With the warm weather, hatches have even begun and I have seen a scattering of caddis and stoneflies in the air. The fish are still in winter-eating mode meaning nymphs and slowly-stripped streamers are the flies of choice. Our schedule still has some openings in July, August and September so give us a shout and we can get your trip booked.
