Good morning everyone!!! It’s quite a different river today than yesterday morning!! Let’s get right to it, shall we? The South Platte River at Cheesman this morning is running at 166 (cfs) and 271 (cfs) at Trumbull.  I took a quick bike-ride up to Decker’s a few moments ago and Horse Creek is feeding the Platte with rain run-off from last night and looks to be around 240/250 (cfs). As a result of last night’s thunderstorms, the river is pretty muddy and has come up just a bit. I’ve put up a few shots from the back yard this morning to show you the clarity change and the cloud cover. I’ve seen a few fish rising already this morning, as I’m hoping the cloud cover is going to bring off a nice hatch or two this morning! Looking like we are going to have thunderstorms develop later this morning and then reform later in the evening. Temperatures are going to only be in the low 80’s today with some much needed moisture. This will be good for our drying conditions and help with the fire danger. It should be a good day of fishing as the cloud cover tends to bring the fish to the surface! I’m very excited to have a few guests fish with me this morning and will hopefully be putting up a few pictures of our success a little later this evening or tomorrow!! Have a great day, and if you’re as lucky as I am, you’re taking a kid fishing!!
