Fishing conditions: Fair to Good
Report: The early morning will yield a mayfly hatch which you can get fish on small emergers and cripple patterns. And slow-stripped, small, sparse mayfly nymphs like a Pheasant in #16 - 20 can be effective otherwise when you find a pod of feeding trout. Small Adams, #16-20, will be handy to have. Bring your terrestrials, ants and beetles, and boatman patterns and search the flats for cruising fish. Keep in mind there are a lot of recreational anglers in kayaks out too, mid-days and afternoons can be busy.
