The wind held off for the most part yesterday so the fishing was back to normal and definitely better than Tuesday. Hendricksons and a good mix of caddis are making up the menu. There are some spinners out there (blue quill and hendricksons) plus the normal blue winged olives. If you’re heading down the Main far enough have a few gray fox and march browns on you just in case. We’re going to start off with sunshine this morning that should give way to clouds in the afternoon. It looks like the rain will hold off until after dark. We should see less than 1/4″ overnight. The air temp will be close to 60 degrees with wind from the South picking up as the front moves in. Not a bad looking day to be on the water.
