A rainbow about the same size broke the line where the tippet met the leader in a few inches of water, and headed for deep water, taking my grasshopper dry fly with him! After tying on a new leader, adding tippet, and tying another grasshopper to the end of the tippet—a project which takes me much longer than it should—I hooked into this rainbow on the first or second cast. Needless to say, I was extremely careful about landing the fish.

It’s only 11:15 am, and already clouds are building. The weather report, already three days old, indicated a 50% chance of thunderstorms yesterday (which did not disappoint), with a 20% chance today. The smoke and haze has vacated for the time being; Hooray!
