A hint of Spring

The maple trees along the river are pushing their buds and the crocus have arrived.  I usually think of  the first hatching Quill Gordon Mayfly’s in the Shenandoah National Park arriving about 10 days or so after the crocus in my yard.  The fishing continues to be slow due to cool stream temps as a result of the melting snow.  The best success on the mountain streams will be found in the lower stretches over the next week and if you can find a south facing area all the better.
