Yesterday’s rain held off until overnight but we had clouds move in early and stick around all day. It must have been a light rain- the ground is wet but the rivers flows barely budged. We have some heavy fog right now but that will burn off in the next hour or so. The clouds seemed to push the hatches and we had better hatches on the lower West Branch then we’ve seen in a while. Olives # 18 – 20 mixed with some sulphurs #18 – 20 should cover you. It looks like today’s forecast has shifted to more sun with a smaller percentage chance of a thunderstorm. We should be a bit warmer today with air temperatures reaching the mid 80’s.
