Fishing reports and conditions: 5/19/24
Today the high 75 degrees, currently a East wind, 2-5 mph with a gust up to 10 mph. Will have partly cloudy skies with no rain predicted. All rivers are running clear and are wadable. From reports fishing was slow for most of the day yesterday for the amount of bugs on the water, it wasn't till late last night 7-8:30 pm it picked up. Could have been a Rusty spinner, small olive or a sulpher. From my guides a few fish ate the March brown and or Gray fox on the tailwaters. Bob cat spotted on the 17 side of Barnhardt's pool, might be a den on that side of the river. Saw a video of a large female.
