Yep. It blew out there. Dang near 25 MPH gusts at times with steady 10 MPH for most of the day. Needless to say this kept the fish down and bugs off the water for the most part. The heat and sun pretty much finished the job. There was a bit of an evening flush, but definitely not as strong as the two previous nights. Today – more of the same, albeit with slightly slower winds and lower temps. We’ll see how it turns out!
