There is no diesel smell out front and people were fishing the lower West yesterday. If you do find any along an eddy or on the bank call DEC or National Park Service.Most of the rain in yesterday’s forecast missed us. We had a few brief, light showers that didn’t do much to the rivers. The flows are still dropping this morning. There are more caddis on the door this morning and some small stoneflies. Blind casting isonychias in the riffles has worked down here too. There are still mid day sulphurs in Deposit along with some olives and isonychias. The lower West should get cooler as the runoff subsides and the release makes up a larger part of the flow. Today’s forecast calls for the possibility of thunderstorms with a little more than 1/4″ possible.
