Yesterday was a day of olives and sulphurs with just a few isonychias and cahills. We had sun most of the day with some scattered clouds and light winds. The hatching on different river sections remained the same as it’s been over the last week or so. The were enough mayflies hatching during the day before the main hatch to keep some fish looking up- especially in the shade. Today looks similar to yesterday with a slightly increased chance of a thunderstorm. If it comes Accuweather is predicted around 1/10″ of precip in the early evening. Given their track record over the last few days I’m predicting bright sunshine. The Mainstem at Lordville is starting off at 66 degrees this morning. Time to fish with the thermometer down there.
