Yesterday’s wind forecast seemed to have missed the mark by 10 mph or so making for a tough start to the day. Once it settled down we had a nice steady rain that wasn’t too bad. We had decent hatching of olives, hendricksons, blue quills, and some tan caddis. Some of the bugs seemed to come in waves so patience was the key. Overall it was a good day out there for most people. The rain picked up towards dark and that was the end.
Today looks warmer with a high of 60 and more sun. Winds should be 2 to 5 mph- hopefully that is on the money today.
