Yesterday’s weather was an interesting mix with less wind and more early clouds than forecasted. There were some mid-day olives on some sections. The fish were happiest during cloud cover but there were a few found in shaded areas too. Nymphing during low light periods has been decent. We were hit with a brief unexpected thunderstorm last night but the rain soaked right into the ground and didn’t bump the flows at all. The air temperature dropped into the high 40’s last night which is great for the system. This week looks great with most of the days overcast with a chance of small storms and very cool nights. Daytime temperatures have dropped back around 8 degrees too with today’s high only around 70 degrees. Olives, caddis, cahills, sulphurs, and isonychias are being spotted on the water at various times.
