There’s rain falling this morning and a chance of heavier patches as the day progresses. The forecast is for 3/10″ and it should taper off in the afternoon. We’ll update the blog if we get more than the weatherman calls for. Yesterday we had a mix of clouds and sun. Nymphing was the best option with some dry fly action later in the day. Today might be a good day to use streamers in the morning, then switching tactics as the rain moves out.
