It’s still bug soup with lots of olives, sulphurs, cahills, march browns, gray fox, green drakes, and just about every caddis you can imagine. The wind made it tough early but did die down in the evening. We have been finding fish eating earlier along wind protected banks and other quiet areas. We should start seeing more march brown spinners and coffin flies over the next few days. It looks like the wind has finally broke and we’ll have a day under 10 mph. We should see some clouds moving in and some afternoon rain. Right now the forecast is calling for quite a bit of precipitation late but they have been wrong on the last few storms. A lot of it should soak in o the ground in the beginning.
