From the benchWith a 96°F high and near-zero wind today, get on the water no later than 7 AM and focus on the shaded, oxygenated water directly below Buford Dam where the tailwater stays coolest. Fish your nymphs on a tight-line or short-indicator setup at 18-24 inches off the bottom in the main seams — trout will be stacked there to avoid thermal stress. By 10 AM, shift to terrestrials along any grassy or wooded bank with overhead shade. If Sunday night's storms push through and bump flows, check clarity Monday morning before committing to dry-fly water — the Hooch can color up fast after rain.
