I have actually gone out the previous week a couple of times with success. Days can be sluggish in the beginning, however they’ll start to get as soon as it heats up a little.
Dry-fly hatches have actually been as early as 11 a.m. or simply start mid-afternoon.
Make sure to have nymphs, drys, and even soft-hackles (I saw a guide out there with a customer squashing it every cast).
In General, Great.
