Boy do the bugs love some cloud cover! Folks out on the water yesterday were treated to some nice daytime hatching, mostly sulphurs and smaller olives, with a decent spinner fall at night, depending on where you were on the system. Coffin Flies are still around, as are the first batch of Isonychia spinners. The cool night helped us out as well, keeping the spilling water from Cannonsville from getting too hot. Today, we are expecting some relief from the heat, with temps in the mid- to high 60s. Mix in a little cloud cover, and we could have a great day out there!
