We did get some rain yesterday but most of it soaked into the ground. The rivers look clear and fishable in town and the flows only bumped a little. Once the rain ended the afternoon settled into a beautiful, overcast, and light wind evening. There was a decent mix of sulphurs, cahills, gray fox, caddis, and march browns on the water. Lots of olives were out in sizes #18 -26. Some sections saw green drakes mixed in. There were definitely a lot of bugs on the water and the fish were happy. The air temperature should be warmer today with a chance of thunderstorms this afternoon. Right now it looks like a great fishing day. It’s hard to predict if the thunderstorms will hit us or not. It seems the forecast is usually wrong and they track either north or south of us.
