The weather was a bit unsettled yesterday with storms passing through and patches of sunshine. Most of the rain missed us so the rivers are in good shape this morning and still dropping slowly from the rain we had the other day. Small olives mixed with a few Isonychias and cahills are making up the bulk of the bugs. Some river sections have had decent Heptagenia hatches at times. Nymphing has worked early. If that’s not your thing a dry dropper combo in the riffles isn’t a bad idea. And it is time to have your caddis box with you. Today looks similar to yesterday with the potential for some scattered afternoon thunderstorms. Total rainfall should be negligible. Wind 5 – 10 mph from the South with the air temp hitting 63 degrees.
