August is here and in our little angling world that means Hoppers and other Terrestrials.The nights will be getting cooler, sometimes 50% cooler than the day time highs.Given our low water  conditions for this year cooler temps  is a good thing and we like that.

Of course there will be other bugs t get the  Trout to look up.hatches of Flavs,Caddis and Tricos will do that.At the tail end of August we will also see the long awaited October Caddis another sign of good things to come.
