Good news is morning lows in Bridgeport area this week will be in the 30s helping cool the water down in the Reservoir helping the overall conditions in the coming weeks. Best to fish early and late, as water temps have climbed into the low 70s by midday This can put added stress on the fish.. Good news is the water is still fairly clear Fishing with dry flies is getting some solid results. Last hour till it's DARK! PMD, CADDIS, 5x tippet. Flows are low at this time - around 80cfs - nothing like last year!
