Doesn’t Feel Like Fall!
It certainly felt good to get out of the boat and stand in the cool water yesterday. Another hot one today….upper 80s. Due to some rain coming through tonight and into early tomorrow morning, it will be cool tomorrow, but back into the 70s Monday which will continue through the next week with a few 80s scattered throughout the week.
More and more days with no generation in the morning. This has been the trend for past seven days. Yesterday, they opened the equivalent of three units at 1:00 p.m. and ran something for seven hours.

Bob & Mark from Florida on the water with Dana last Sunday. Not a bad day for them on the P&P or copper dun midges, a #16 brown San Juan worm, or the B-Bug. They fished from the root wad down to the boat ramp.

They too did their best on the copper dun midge.
