Fishing this week should be excellent with all of the cloud cover we are receiving. Water levels are very good and for the most part the water clears up after a storm pretty quickly. If the water gets cloudy fish a san juan worm or a squirmy.
Lots of storms this week along with a big temp drop. Nik was guiding out there today and he said it was excellent!
