Hello wind! It has (fortunately) been awhile! With the fronts moving in from the West yesterday, we saw some pretty constant breezes throughout the day, making casting tough at times. When the wind did calm down, there were flurries of bugs upstream (Hale Eddy up) starting mid-afternoon, and decent evening time hatches pretty much as expected on the lower river once the sun started to set. The news of the day is rain. The forecast is constantly changing, so give us a call in the shop for up-to-the-minute reports. As of this morning, the East and Main are still very high, and the West is in great shape. Obviously, this could change at a moment’s notice, so be ready!
