It will be to warm for trout soon. The best time will be very early in the morning. I have been seen a growing number of nymphs and a few adults here and there. Expect that to happen a bit early this year with warm weather conditions. Bass and Pike fishing has picked up too. Make sure your taking a water temp before you fish. Let the trout be if it's to warm. We want those Browns to make lots of babies this fall. I have done well at Twin Bridges, Pulp Mill, Belden's and here in town. If the water is cool enough the dry fly fishing at dark has been very fun and productive.
