We have light rain falling now that should continue for most of the day. It should stay light though without any really heavy downpours. The wind should be 3 – 4 mph from the South with the air temp reaching the high 60’s. Hopefully the breeze is enough to blow the fog off the water. Good fishing weather. If the rain works out like Thursday we should see the hatching begin earlier. Sulphurs, green drakes, cahills, olives, the last of the march browns / gray fox (spinners), plus the isonychias. Today has great potential if the rain stays in check.
It’s that time
