Tricos! Holy *&%^! We had a ton of them all over Home Pool this morning. Aaaaaaaannnnnnnnd – nobody’s eating them. Typical. I guess we know they’re here at least! Tough going on nymphs as well – my thought is the pressure changes have shut us down for the short term. Also, (even though this is close to a daily proclamation with me) to hell with the weathermen. We went from getting an inch of rain yesterday, to not even a drop falling out of the sky at any point. I was looking forward to the cloud cover and fun evening fishing but nooooooo. Sigh.Today they are calling for mostly ‘cloudy’ skies – let’s hope they get this one right for a change!!!
