Whispers in the shop this morning about awesome amounts of bugs on the lower river. Everything seems to be running early thing year. So it’s not a surprise that the Cheetos hatch is already happening on the lower creek.

The bugs are already in the willows and the fish are eating in the fast water already. That’s a great sign that it’s go time.

The other water won’t be far behind. As they get into shape the bugs will follow.

So grab a fresh spool of 3x and your favorite big orange bug. It’s go time.
