Rating: 3, temperature: 65 ℉, condition: Cloudy.

 The sunny days are almost over, I promise!  Friday and Saturday look like clouds and a chance of rain.
  Fishing remains strong with caddis hatching mid morning.  Dries in tan to brown as well as black are catching fish.  Pupae fished just under the surface, and soft hackles swung through the riffles are also deadly.
  Sub surface caddis larvae and pupae are catching fish as are scuds.
Picking up rocks in the stream reveal large numbers of mayfly nymphs.  They are hatching a bit in the evening, but we really need clouds to get the hatch rolling.  If the clouds that are predicted to come in this weekend show up, it could be quite fun...
