Yes the water is crazy low, yes its stupidly hot out, yes there are still plenty of chromers.

So wear shorts, go for a swim at lunch, and bring a one hander.  I honestly don’t know how much longer this can hold up, but the water is still cool enough to keep the fish aggressive and hard fighting.

Straight up trout tactics are the name of the game, find a fish and keep trying him, change flies as necessary and try some more.  2 out of three will bite if you are patient.

The days of chrome are not yet over, but this has to be a sign of what's to come
