Yesterday showed us quite a mix of weather with hot sun, cool rain, more sun, and heavy winds turning into a slight breeze. After the rain ended we had a lot of fog to deal with on the West Branch but there were plenty of isonychias and olives hatching mixed with a few sulphurs. I would probably describe yesterday as one of the better hatching days of the season. Accuweather is calling for air temperatures pushing 80 degrees today and lots of sun. The bright sun may push the hatches off for a couple of hours to later in the afternoon. No rain in today’s forecast so the fog should be less of an issue.
