May 12th Fishing Report
Showers likely, mainly before 11am. Cloudy, with a high near 72. Light east wind increasing to 5 to 10 mph in the morning. Winds could gust as high as 20 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible. Clouds and drizzle to light rain in the morning should have trout in a much better mood today and into the weekend. While the fishing has been great the past few days, the combination of crystal clear water and sunny skies had trout a bit spookier than we like. Now that we have some cloud cover, we expect even happier fish out there!
Caddis are still the top thing on the menu right now, with craneflies a close second. With the clouds, we should see more mayflies and midges hatching too. Remember, sipping rises are midges or mayflies and the splashy rises are caddis or cranes.
Subsurface fishing has been great in the riffles with pretty much anything. Clouds mean scuds. If you are no sure what to tie on, start with a scud if clouds are in the sky.
The dream weather should make the leech and streamer fishing much better this weekend too!
