Yesterday started off well with good cloud cover and a little wind. The wind picked up in the afternoon but was still manageable. A little rain came in the late evening but not enough to dirty the water. It was a good mix of hendericksons, blue quills, and both Brachycentrus caddis. There were a few Chimarra caddis around too. Most fish we found would eat a hendrickson. In the low water their more picky about presentation than pattern right now.
Wunderground is calling for 100% chance of rain today. It just started coming down. We should see around 3/4″ throughout the day. A lot of that will soak into the ground – especially since our leaves are just beginning to pop. We may see additional rain overnight. If there is any drastic change to the river flows we’ll do a mid day update.
