Rarely does it fail that Memorial Day triggers the Salmonfly hatch on the upper Colorado River up through Gore Canyon. Water temperatures need to hit the lower 50’s sure, but for whatever reason it just always seems that Memorial Day is most often the weekend that they start to come out.

“Hey, its happening and you should be here”
“Love your enthusiasm, I’ll see you tomorrow”
Then I went home, packed my things and got out of the door.
