The wind was tough yesterday. Wunderground nailed it at 25 mph. Most people nymphed or threw streamers. Today looks much better at 5 1- 10 mph. We should have a better shot at finding fish on the small olives and caddis. Some river sections are seeing Heptagenia and this is always a good time of year to blind cast Isonychias and cahills through the riffles. The water levels have dropped back a bit as the runoff subsides. 65 degrees with a mix of sun and clouds sounds like a nice early Fall day to be on the water.
