We did have some rain yesterday and a storm in the evening but most of the precip soaked into the ground and the bump in flows was negligible. We have an 80% chance of rain today but the amount of rainfall should only be around 1/10th of an inch. We should have good cloud cover with wind 5 – 10 mph from the North. On paper it looks like a good olive day. The daytime fishing has still been best in the coldest water. Sulphurs and olives have been coming off in the afternoons. Outside of that on the lower sections the normal summer nymphing and swinging wet flies should work until the hatches start in the evening.
The rain caused a minor bump in flows.
