We’re coming off a warm night and looking at another day with air temperatures around 80 degrees. Accuweather is calling for mostly sun with humidity. There is a chance for a shower in the early evening but the precipitation amount should be negligible. Hopefully the warm weather and humidity push more flying ants out of the ground and onto the water. The sulphur hatches are definitely waning leaving us with olives until we get the push of fall mayflies. There are enough remnant sulphurs hatching to bring some fish to the surface but patience is definitely called for right now. Nymphing during the day has been effective.
We’ve seen a lot of small olives lately. Look for patterns you can see on the water
