Opened the camp -- everything worked -- even the mouse trap -- one floated in the bucket.
Drove up river and found risers at the junction pool being set upon by four pontoon boats and one drift boat. DRC home pool had risers with nobody fishing.
Started fishing on the WB below monument where there were good numbers of bugs (paraleps, red quills, hendricksons, caddis, and stones), but just a few risers. Left after an hour and tried a spot on the big river, which had the same mix of bugs with a few more fish up. Some of the fish looked up, some didn't. of those that did about half refused my offerings. A handful ate, making it a good first day of fishing.
With warm weather and dropping stream levels it's starting to happen -- be here this weekend.
