April 20th Fishing Report

A slight chance of rain and snow showers between noon and 2pm, then a chance of rain showers. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 43. Northwest wind 6 to 9 mph. Chance of precipitation is 40%. Little or no snow accumulation expected.
  Cold nights have water temperatures dipping into the mid to high 40s.  They eventually warm up to 50 again in many of the creeks after a few hours of sun.  This means the quality fishing is starting later in the day (our guide trips have been starting at 10 am instead of 8 as we normally would).
Creeks are still clear and low so fish are extremely spooky.  
  Watch for olives in the afternoon as well as some caddis.  The hatches have slowed down a bit with this chilly weather snap, but fish are still rising.  Most of the feeding is subsurface.  Floating a hippie stomper with a bead head below has been the go to rig.  If that isn't working, try dead drifting a leech under an indicator and twitching it occasionally.
