It’s starting off coll this morning but it should turn into a good fishing day. Clouds, light wind, and a few showers are in the forecast. The air temp should be in the mid 50’s and the rain total should stay under 1/10″. Combine that with the lower water flows and we could have a really good olive day. The caddis are still out in good numbers. They were hitting the water yesterday with a lot of small fish and a few good ones coming up. Some fish were reasonably steady eaters but others you had to patient for and mark and cover. We’re still finding some isonychias and isonychia spinners in the afternoons. Not too bad for mid October.
