Fishing Highlights:
Fished the upper canyon today in some pretty gusty conditions. The fish were willing to eat as long as we could punch a cast into the wind. Little browns, brookies, and rainbows were eating dries of the top very fast, but we managed to get a few in the net.The fishing is great. Partly Cloudy skies and 56-59 degree weather. The water temperature was between 52-55 degrees and Crystal Clear.
