While yesterday’s cloud cover was intermittent, the system proved to fish well during the day. The evening fishing picked up down river with olives, cahills, and Isonychias. If you were fishing the main you saw golden drakes and golden drake spinners along with the usual mix of summer insects. Today looks like an exact copy of yesterday: passing cloud cover and a possible evening thunderstorm.
Be sure to try blind casting isos and larger flies in the riffs!
