Lower Oldman River, Overcast and PMD's, August 2, 2012

After work I zoomed down to a local tailwater that has been having a solid PMD hatch through late July and so far early August. It rained today and was mainly overcast and I was expecting and even better hatch with the inclement weather. The hatch was amazing and probably had gone on most of the day even though I only got to the river at 6:30 pm. Some Olives were also on the water. Fish were up and showing themselves. Most were on emergers and just showing their backs and tails. Some occasionally sipped from the surface. I picked up some fish on dries by moving down to some flat water sections well below the riffles/runs.The PMD's continue to be large for August, size 14 and 16. The river is producing more cutthroats this year than in the past and also more brown trout. Variety is good.
