We’re coming off another cool night so water temperatures are about the same as this time yesterday. We also had another day of unexpected cloud cover with no real precipitation. We are on a bit of a warming trend with high air temperatures hitting close to 80 today with the night dropping back to the high 50’s. No rain in the forecast again but we should have some cloud cover. While the sulphur hatch is waning there are still enough coming off to interest the fish. The hatches seem to be a little lighter and more sporadic than we’ve grown used to so be patient. Olives are still around in good numbers throughout the system. We are seeing a good mix of sizes from #18 -26. There are still a few isonychias and cahills hatching on some sections of river. While these hatches seem light and sporadic too we have heard reports of people catching fish blind casting the isonychias in the riffles. Definitely carry flying ants.
