We had the bright sun all day yesterday making the fish shy for most of the day. Once the sun dropped the bugs came and the fish responded. In some sections the hatch seemed to be comprised mostly of olives with a few isonychias and sulphurs thrown in for good measure. The upper sections had the normal mid-day sulphurs followed by the olives. The fish were shy about eating the isonychias until the sun dropped behind the mountains. Accuweather is calling for another bright sunny day with temperatures in the low 80’s. We may see a stray thunderstorm in the late afternoon with just a small amount of precipitation.
