The air temperatures are starting off in the high 30’s this morning so it will take a while for things to warm up. We’re in for a big swing with Accuweather predicting afternoon air temperatures of 67 degrees. It looks like we’re done with precipitation for the weekend and the winds should be negligible with gusts to 6 mph. The predicted the same winds yesterday but we definitely had gusts peaking over that so be prepared and bring a warm fleece.
Hatching was slow again for most of the day so streamers and nymphs seemed to be the best bet. There were some flushes of olives late but they were very river section specific.
