Stained above Cape Fair till you get on up in the James and Flat Creek. It clears in a hurry, and cools off in a hurry. Water temp in Flat Creek above the first bend is 38 degrees. It's a little warmer in the James but not much, 38.5-39 degrees. The weather this week will help the water temps, depends on how much they pull the lake to help the water clarity. Several boat up that way yesterday, not sure if the Whites were running or not, didn't see anyone land anything.
