Yesterday was the coolest, wet day we’ve had since Spring. The weather did not stop the Pseudos from hatching or the fish eating them. It was another of risers from just after lunch until 5:30 or so. There have been a few Isonychias starting to show up the bulk of the hatches are the little olives.
Today looks like it should be another good day with clouds in the morning with some sun breaking through in the afternoon. Air temperatures should reach the high 50’s making it a lot more comfortable than yesterday’s mid to high 40’s. Winds should be moderate with gusts only reaching 8 mph.
