Took a trip here on Tuesday and the fishing wasn't horrible! Granted everything we caught was a hatchery fish. There were some large caddis fluttering around and a fish would occasionally grab one and come clean out of the water sometimes as a foot to grab the fly mid-air. Water temps are in the low 60s, at least on the overcast and rainy day I checked around 11:30. There's a few fish in just about every hole we fished, so don't expect to stand in one place all day, you have to keep moving, especially after you've hooked a fish. I had beginners, and didn't get there til after 9 so we missed the Trico spinners, but I'm hearing it happens around 8am. Some of the smaller resident fish were eating bigger caddis dries in the eddys and foam lines as well so the bobber isn't the only game.
