Mayflies still reign supreme along the entire river. Drakes are diminishing, but flavs and PMDs in emergers through spinners, so bring life cycle patterns. Brown drakes are still around in certain locations during evenings, Hot dry days make for difficult fishing success, because water temperature gets elevated ( 70 Deg. F.is becoming common). Best times are during overcast or even before and right after thunder showers happen. Do you know why? Simply because the air is most humid meaning adult aquatic insects do not dehydrate as quickly.

One thing about hot, dry weather, it brings on terrestrial insects. So survey your ant, beetle and hopper patterns. You are going to need them soon!
