Hatches are kicking in with Blue Wings and Caddis. Both are reasonably light currently but the nymphing has been productive. This time of year is cool because we usually catch a few Brookies during the early season as the one pictured above. 19 inches and heavy.
The upper Columbia has been pretty unpredictable recently. The flows have been a bit erratic and hatches have not been very consistent. Regardless, we have been able to pick up some nice fish as shown above!
Blue wing olives are pretty much the ticket and we should see the Mothers Day bloom in the next 3 weeks!
