Yesterday we had some unexpected cloud cover that was a nice bonus along with the cooler air temperatures. Only a few drops of rain fell and you never needed a raincoat. The sulphur hatches on the upper river sections were lighter than we’ve seen lately and may be waning. We saw more olives hatching throughout the system than anything else. We are still seeing a few isonychias and cahills so don’t take those out of your box yet. Flying ant numbers have been decent and we are seeing at least a few on the water everyday. Air temps should be in the low 70’s today with light winds. We are having some cool nights so hopefully the lower East Branch and Upper Mainstem both cool off soon.
