Yellow Dog Flyfishing's Tip of the Week
The Mother's Day Caddis hatch has started and should provide pretty darn good dry fly fishing over the next few weeks. A single caddis on a 9' 4x leader gets the job done. If the fish won't commit to the dry try swinging a soft hackle.

Water Flow Data
5-Day Outlook as of 5/2/24
Slightly warmer weather this weekend. Maybe good caddis fishing. Cool and wet once again next week. The caddis likely need slightly higher water temperatures to really pop.
Techniques & Tips as of 5/2/24
Nymphing or streamer fishing will keep you busy until fish start keying in on the Caddis. If it is cloudy you may find fish rising all day.
