Yesterday was as advertised. Sun, a few clouds, and no wind. On days like that look for the coldest water to find daytime hatching. The olives hatches have been good over the last few weeks. The fish are eating a lot of them just under the surface or in the film so watch the rise forms carefully. Otherwise nymphing or swinging wet flies will be your best shot. There are a lot of small olives on the rivers so keep that in mind while choosing the sizes of your wets and nymphs. If Accuweather is correct today’s weather is going to be a copy of yesterdays. So far in the forecast Thursday is the first day we have with any rain potential.
