We have overcast skies this morning with the Accuweather forecast calling for close to an inch of rain during the day. While Accuweather is always accurate, looking at the state radar we should get something. We are in wait and see mode for the river later this afternoon. Some light rain should start around 10:30 am so we may have decent fishing earlier in the day than we’ve had lately. We’ll watch the storm closely and update the blog if river conditions change during the day.
Olives, suphurs, and isonychias are still the best hatches right now eith more sulphurs than anything. Keep a few cahills in your box just in case. If the river comes up from the rain streamers could be a great option mid-day.

Slate Drake #12-2xl – 12 – Isonychia bicolor
Sulphur #18-20 – E. dorothea
Light Cahills #14 – various steno species (invaria, etc)
PED / Pink Lady #14 – E. vitreus
