Nice pics, Pat. Yup, cool, slightly over cast, little or no wind, that day has BWO written all over it.

Thanks, Pat. Our most reliable hatch is BWO's, almost every overcast day (in the PNW we have a lot of overcast days), the hatch starts about noon or 1:00 PM. None of that early morning stuff for us. Nice relaxed breakfast and a pleasant drive to the river.
