There were olives and Hendricksons on some river sections yesterday. A little rain is falling now but the skies should clear today. It is definitely warmer this morning and the rivers have come up a couple of degrees. The West Branch has dropped to a decent level with 556 cfs at Hale Eddy. The East Branch side is pushing more water with a flow of 1,470 cfs at Fishs Eddy.
The fishing should only improve from now as the air temperatures increase over the next few days. The forecast is calling for 60 degrees over the weekend. We should see more rain overnight which is perfect for keeping the rivers filled.
