The afternoon storms never really appeared so we had sunshine until a few clouds rolled in around 7 pm. It felt like summer out there by late afternoon. There were sporadic fish working but the most of the action happened after the dun dropped behind the hills. White flies, olives, plus the normal cahills / stenos, and heptagenia. Add in the oddball flying ant and you were covered. The best action was underneath nymphing small patterns or swinging small wet flies in the riffles. Despite the conditions some nice fish were landed so stick with it and be patient. Today will be very similar with cooler air temperatures.
