The early reports are good from the Bridge. His "royal sheepness" Jeffery @ the marina is saying it has been very good for numbers with some jumbo browns showing up on a regular basis. Tubing near the marina and launch ramp has been productive for some on the nicer weather days.

The Bridge has also had its share of wind and cooler weather this May. The Bridge is lower in elevation thus has warmer water temps than Crowley. The callibaetis mayflies are already appearing near the inlets and the chironomid hatches are going strong daily. Weeds are beginning to show in the flats so you must use a meter to identify the channels.

Still water nymphing is best in 12 feet or more, streamer patterns fished with a full sink line along the channels in the weeds will also work well. With the huge amount of water this area will be great this summer and into fall.
