There was a little more wind yesterday than Wunderground led us to believe. It was still less wind than we’ve seen lately. There were more caddis around yesterday and it sounds like they were the answer to at least a few of the tougher rising fish. We still have blue quills, olives, and hendricksons out there so it seems like a big mess of bugs at times. Keep an eye on the rise forms and be flexible in your pattern choices. When all else fails throw the rusty spinner. We’re going to be a little cooler today with the air temp reaching the low 50’s. Wind will be 10 – 20 from the North so normal for this Spring. We warm up to the high 60’s tomorrow.
Pat Giordano with a nice one yesterday
