The forecast has changed a bit and Accuweather has now pushed today’s rain to tonight and tomorrow. We’ll have fog this morning breaking up into partly sunny skies. Winds should be fine at 5 mph and gusts only to 7 mph. It looks like most of the clouds will come in right around dark. If the forecast holds stick to the normal Summer program. If you’re looking for daytime dry fly fishing stay above Hale Eddy on the West Branch or above Harvard on the East Branch. We should still see the normal sulphurs and olives. If you want to nymph stay below Hale Eddy on the West due to the algae. If the forecast is correct we should see good olive weather tomorrow opening up more river miles to daytime hatching. For something totally different check out the smallmouth fishing on the lower Mainstem. A river smallmouth fight is hard to beat.
