Cloud cover all day yesterday, but absolutely zero storms reared their heads. A bit of a curse and a blessing. A blessing for those fishing, but a curse in that we would like our feeder streams to fill up a little bit more! Otherwise the fishing was pretty decent – good activity up top early on during the day, albiet the fish were not as active as you would expect with weather like we had. The warmer water temps (And cooler air temps) did mitigate our fog problem, so those who headed out late were able to see all the way until dark, and take advantage of the evening hatch. There were definitely some Pseudos mixed in with the sulphurs, and the fish were up on them. Today we’re expecting fewer clouds, and similar “cooler” temps in the low 80s, so with no acute air pressure changes, expect a very similar day to yesterday, which is not a bad thing!
