The cold just didn’t want to let go yesterday. It ended up being a damp cool day with a few sprinkles that made you feel the cold in your bones. It already feels warmer this morning and we should be in the high 50s with winds 5 to 8 mph. It already feels much nicer than yesterday plus we have predicted air temps of 68 degrees for tomorrow. We should see an increase of olives hatching on the warmer afternoons, plus one or two Isonychias. The fish still seem to have the Isos in their memory bank so quite a few of them will eat an well presented Iso- especially in the broken water. The West Branch under the 191 Bridge in Hancock is 48 degrees this morning.
Small Blue Winged Olives are still hatching- hope for days with no wind
Hatching:
Tiny Blue Wing Olives #22 – 26 – Pseudocloeon sp.
Dark Blue Winged Olive #16 -20 – E. deficiens, lata, etc.
Slate Drakes #14 -Isonychia bicolor
