Somewhere someone had to have a great evening on this river. The flying ants were coming off pretty well in the grass along the Mainstem. They did not hit the water where we were fishing but the likely did somewhere. Luck of the draw. The bright sun and wind made for tough fishing during the day. We saw fewer olives than the previous few days. Nymphing was definitely the best mid day strategy. Today actually looks better on the weather reports. We should have a few storms moving through with winds peaking only at 10 mph. The clouds are already here. Rain total will be between 1/4″ and 1/2″ depending on which station you’re listening to. We’re counting on olives today.
