The Hendricksons are still moving up the system and the rivers are fishing great. We’re still seeing stoneflies, Blue Winged Olives, Quill Gordons, Blue Quills, and the chimarra caddis are showing up. There is a lot of food out there in the mid-afternoon. The hatches should begin earlier in the day and last longer as we hit warmer temperatures through the weekend. The West Branch above Cannonsville is still flowing around 1,00o this morning. Both Cannonsville and Pepacton levels have increased over the last few days. The river flows are dropping back as the runoff subsides. Everything is in great shape with plenty of wading and floating opportunities.
