A little more of the same yesterday, with a bit more activity in the morning than we have been seeing. The downer is that the lower river didn’t see as many bugs in the evening as we have been over the last few days. Up river (Deposit) had good activity throughout the day an into the evening, but as usual the fish were less than cooperative! Today, we’re expecting a sunny morning followed by a cloudy afternoon and evening, hopefully encouraging all these lazy insects to hatch when we get a chance to get out of the shop!
