It appears that summer crept its way in this weekend. Bright sun and warm temps didn’t fully shut the action down, but it certainly slowed it when it showed up late this afternoon. Beforehand, scattered showers and clouds kept our water temps low, and allowed a good hatch of coenutellas (BWOs) to make an appearance. The evening came as expected(I would be worried if it didn’t) and the typical late flush of sulphurs et al made their appearance. Today a little bit more of the same, with some passing thunder storms cruising the area just to add some flavor to the day. Let’s hope it brings additional cloud cover with it!
