Yesterday we had a nice steady rain with a couple of periods of heavier stuff. The ground soaked up most of it and the rivers held together well. It finally caught up to some of the feeder creeks in the late afternoon and we had some color and the West Branch shot up to 1,400 cfs at Hale Eddy. Once the rain stopped the West Branch dropped back just as fast and we are already down to 756 cfs this morning. The WB above Oquaga Creek barely budged and is in normal shape. This looks like a good streamer morning if you can get out before the sun burns through the fog and hits the water. We should see a mix of sun and clouds today with negligible winds. There is a chance of an afternoon storm but the precipitation should be .04″. Hopefully we see more clouds than sun and it pushes the olives to hatch on the lower WB.
Today is our river cleanup day so stop by if you’re in the area to meet some cool people from Pig Farm Ink and Troegs Brewery.
