The rivers have dropped back and look good overall. We have cleared nicely on most of the system and water temperatures look great this morning. Accuweather is calling for overcast skies and a 1/4″ of rain spread throughout the day – sounds like a great olive day! Sulphurs, olives, and cahills are still hatching in decent numbers with the isonychias mixed in for good measure. As we clear, the nymphing action should pick up offering more opportunities during the day. Streamers have been working well in the off color water. As we clear up smaller streamers should still interest some fish. We should get some additional rain overnight which is great news for fishing over the next few days.
