Happy Monday Morning! Well, it would be happier here if I could avoid talking to my good friend “Bob” over in India – which is what I will have the pleasure of doing after making this update. Sigh.
Anyway, on a better note – we had LOTS of bug activity yesterday evening, as evidenced by all the different species on the shop wall this morning – 3 different Stenos, two sizes of Iso, several sizes of pseudos, and everyone’s morning favorite – Tricos! Fish were active yesterday evening prior to the big thunderstorm rolling through around 7:30 or so, which understandably shut everything down during the deluge. The good news – no perceptible change in the West Branch, color or otherwise. The low pressure that followed caused a nice burst of insect activity overnight, which could bode well for the cloud cover and rain we are expecting today!
