A clear sky and blazing sun made yesterday a tough one. Small flies and picky fish. Things picked up a bit once the sun dropped. Today looks similar with a high of 85 degrees and a mix of clouds and sun. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the South so that’s a little better than yesterday. Head close to dams for the coldest water during the day. That will be the best hatching. Sulphurs, small olives, isonychias, and cahills will make up most of the hatches. Small sulphurs and small olives are the most important. Definitely carry your flying ant box too.
