We are coming off another cool night so the system is in good shape this morning. The clouds hung around all day but very little rain fell. The cloud cover did help keep the rivers cool and the fish happy. We had a good mix of bugs yesterday beginning with small olives in the morning and sulphurs in the evening. Isonychias and cahills are coming off sporadically during the day offering some mid day activity- especially in shaded areas. We’ve removed march browns, gray fox, and green drakes from the hatch list but if you are in the upper sections of the system I would suggest carrying them still. Especially spinner patterns.
Today’s forecast is calling for an air temperature high of 70, little wind, and some sun.
