Thursday's Weather

Today's Conditions

Temperature: 30F
Wind: WSW 4 mph gusts 9mph
Dew Point: 28F
Humidity 96%
Pressure: 30.03" rising

The weather is warming up quickly this morning and temperatures are expected to reach the mid to upper 30's.  a layer of alto stratus clouds has moved in in the last hour or so most likely from rising moisture.  The low pressure front that brought snow a few days ago is moving out slowly as we see the pressure start to rise.  Skies should clear up tonight and tomorrow.  The temperatures are supposed to continue to be in the upper 30's for the next few days.

as far as trout fishing goes now is the time to be on the water.  The warmer temps are bringing back the fish’s appetite and increasing insect activity.  Midge hatches are occurring almost every day around noon and the trout are feeding aggressively.  The little bit of snow we got is melting and causing the rivers to rise just a little, but we certainly could use some more water.  Streams are running crystal clear at base flow conditions, which make the trout spooky and the fishing very difficult.  Hopefully we see a good late season snow or two so we have a little bit of spring runoff or the early season might be really tricky fishing.
