Most of yesterday’s rain skirted around us. We did have a bit fall overnight that brought the rivers up but they are already dropping back this morning. There is some color in the West Branch but it is fishable. Stilesville is a steady 1,490 and should be clear above Oquaga Creek. It looks like a good morning to throw streamers and then switch to dries in the afternoon. Sulphurs, olives, and isonychias should cover the majority of the bugs. There are some caddis and yellow sallies around in fewer numbers.
We’re hearing there are a couple of areas you can still smell diesel on the Route 17 side of the river near Hale Eddy. We haven’t seen any evidence of any diesel for a few days in Home Pool. People are fishing the length of the river.
We should see some thunderstorms today with somewhere between 1/4″ and 1/2″ of rain falling – probably. The storms have been spotty and hard to predict. Keep an eye on the radar for the latest info. Yesterday Wunderground changed the forecast every hour.
