We are getting some much needed rain this morning- great news for the reservoirs. Most of the rivers in the system have risen overnight leaving the Upper West Branch as the best option for wading and nymphing. The lower West Branch looks decent for a streamer run with color in the water and over 1500 cfs flowing at Hale Eddy. The precipitation should become a little more sporadic during the day with air temps in the low to mid 40’s. There were some stoneflies ont he water yesterday but the fish haven’t become happy yet. We need the water temperatures to come up a little more.
Finally seeing some signs of life this Spring!
Hatching:
Little Black Stoneflies #14 – 18 – Capnidae sp. and Taeniopteryx sp.
