The clouds stuck around longer than expected yesterday and the air temp stayed cool. We had decent report of olives and isonychia hatches by mid afternoon. Once again it seems the olives stole the show right down to the spinner falls. There were even some white flies hatching on some of the lower river sections. Today is going to be warmer with more sun. Nymphing may be better early until we get some shaded banks or the sun drops behind the hills. If we’re lucky this week’s warmer air temperatures will bring out the flying ants again.
