Special Report
Clarity has been good, but storms may affect this.

One-Week Fishing Forecast
The first part of the week will see below normal temps in the upper 60's but will be warnimg up by Thursday in the mid 70's. 5-60% chance of moisture through Wednesday.

Hatch Info
Hopper patterns are still the main stay, but golden stones have still been taking a few fish.

Hot Fly Patterns
Yellow Stimulators and other golden stone imitations are getting (above Livingston) If you want to use hoppers, try a Stalcup's Hopper in tan sizes 12-10 or a Real Hopper in similar sizes.
