Whatever rain was in the forecast yesterday missed us. We did have some clouds in and out early but it was mostly sunny later in the afternoon. Spots with afternoon shade had more fish rising while the sun was out. We had the normal mix of bugs with sulphurs, olives, cahills, golden drakes, and isonychias. Yesterday seemed like more of an olive day for a change. We did see fish eating the sulphurs but at times there were more olives on the water. We should just hit 80 today for air temperatures and have a partly sunny sky again. Winds will be about the same as yesterday staying under 10 mph. We may get some light rain over the weekend which should be good for the olive hatches.
Dan found a streamer eater this week.
