We’re coming off another cold night and woke up to some light rain this morning. The rivers look decent now and have settled down to great levels for wading. Today should be cooler with air temperatures only reaching the high 40’s to low 50’s. Luckily the wind forecast has changed and we are looking at gusts only reaching 8 mph. Hopefully Accuweather is accurate on that one.
We had good olive hatches yesterday beginning around 1 pm and lasting until after 5:30. The fish out front were rising steadily to the #22 -26 Pseudos offering decent targets. It was the most and steadiest rising fish we’ve seen in a while. Today should be similar with cloud cover sticking around once the rain showers subside.
