Lots of Water!
Just what we did not need today……rain! Looks like it is out of here for the rest of the day. Monday and Tuesday show a 20% chance with temperatures in the low 60s. Wednesday have rain chances up a little and still in the low 60s. Friday and Saturday will be in the mid 70s and by Sunday and Monday, we’re back to 40% chances for rain and temperatures in the low 80s.
Unfortunately, the rain doesn’t seem to be slowing down so the river won’t be slowing down for a while. We still have five spillways and three generators going for a total flow of around 14750 cfs. It will be a while before this lets up.
Gary took Ted from California to Roaring River this past Monday. Ted took our Orvis 2-day fly fishing school last October and wanted to get some more experience and especially the chance to wade fish. They had a good day over there even though the water was a little up and running as well as off colored. They nymphed with a cerise worm and did some streamer catching on a #14 olive bugger chasing the tiger tail.

Thursday, Dana took Beth and John out for half a day. Good day for them on the black copperhead midge

Ron fished half a day with Dana on Friday. He had a good day on the copperhead black midge under the big ruby. Carolyn was finishing up a River Run two-day school with Bruce. Since he
Bruce – 5/7/21
