These next two days should give us exactly what we have been hoping for—rain and a break from scorching temperatures. While today’s high is still 85 degrees, we are happy to get out of the 90 degree range that we had been in. Right now there is great cloud cover, and the forecast says we should have thunderstorms just after noon and through the night. Tomorrow, those storms will turn to showers throughout the entire day, and there should be a considerable drop in temperature, with tomorrow’s high only reaching 74 degrees. This should make for a good weekend to fish, and some cooler temperatures should lead to more bug activity on the water. If the clouds are out, look for Olives, in addition to Sulphurs, Isos and Caddis. Don’t let the rain deter you, this can be a great opportunity to fish. Just make sure to bring your rain gear!
