We have seen very little spring run-off. Most of the off color water has been the result of heavy rains. Jack Mitchell of Evening Hatch Guide Service called he had been on the river three days last week and reports decent fishing. He has been doing well nymphing, bringing up some good fish. He also reports that he is starting to see some small stones and some blue wing olives.
Midges are also fairly common.
I can't help myself. I expect to see insect activity early this year. Lots of color below Cle Elum and high but clearer above. Forecast is for more rain ending Thursday. It will take 2 or 3 cold dry nights to get it back.
