Yesterday’s weather was an odd mix. We had clouds, very brief heavy downpours, sun, and even a little hail. The rivers barely bumped form the rain and everything looks good this morning. The cool nighttime temperatures have kept the water temps in check and we are starting off a couple of degrees cooler this morning. The rain did push some olives (#20 -26) and there were decent numbers of them in spots. There were some sulphurs, isonychias, and caddis in the mix too. We have been seeing a decent number of olive spinners in the afternoons so definitely have a few handy. Today’s forecast is calling for clear skies with air temperatures in the low 70’s. Winds should be manageable gusting to 10 mph and then dropping during prime time.
