We should see some rain this morning totaling under 1/4″. That shouldn’t do much to the river flows but the rain and clouds could definitely push some bugs. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the South and the air temp will hit 75 degrees. Sounds like a good day to be on the water. With that weather report have your olives handy. There is also a chance it will push the sulphur and cahill hatches a little earlier in the afternoon. And always Isonychias and caddis this time of year. Yesterday was a bit spotty on timing but most people saw some kind of sulphur hatch. Some of the eats are very subtle so keep a close eye on likely lies and be patient.
