Joe and I anticipated a great morning of fishing. We were very disappointed to find the River running very low and clear with extremely warm water temperatures. Trout do not tolerate water temps over 70 degrees very well. I'm afraid the trout our living on borrowed time if water temps don't cool considerably.
For the trout to survive they must find cool mountain feeder streams or a spring seep.
We need a good shot of rain in the worst way to get the streams flowing and the oxygen level up and the temps down.
I'm pretty sure this will end our trout fishing for the summer. Hopefully some trout survive for the up coming fall season.
