The ‘Do…Point…Drop’, or the dew point drop?
Today - the dew point started to fall… drop. The air isn't quite as sticky as it has been for the past many days.

Hot August
I got back several days ago in order to attend a Pine Creek Watershed Council meeting and the Pine Creek Preservation Association (PCPA) picnic.

The Swarm Before the Storm (as in stormy weather… at least showery weather)
Basically, it's spinner-time for the Green Drakes! Wednesday and Thursday evenings were interesting fishing in Pine Creek. Green Drakes have been showing up over the course of the past 5 to 7 days with intensities starting slowly and coming to a peak just before late this week.
