It was pretty miserable out there yesterday, at least weather-wise. We had cool temps coupled with some serious wind at times, which definitely would make one question why they were outside. That being said, we had a lull in the breeze late in the afternoon, and as I marched down to Home Pool I saw both Olives and Isos coming off, and fish regularly rising to eat them. Of course, by closing time and once I had wadered up, the wind had returned, and the bugs had hit the road. Today, we’re looking at a much warmer day (mid 60s) with very little wind in the forecast, as well as the sun peeking out to warm up the water over the course of the day. It definitely has the potential to be one of the best days we’ve seen in the last week or so – keep your fingers crossed!
