A bit warmer overnight last night, but still in the low 50s – can’t complain! The cooler evenings have all the rivers starting at a lower temps first thing in the morning, which is always a good thing with these bright sunny days we are experiencing. It also seems that the DEP has released more water from Pepacton reservoir, dramatically cooling down the East Branch. This bodes VERY well for some Main Stem fishing in the next couple of days as the clouds roll on in, and may bring some fish back up the East a bit earlier than usual. Today we expect more cloud cover, and still in the mid 70s, which should make for a good day on the river if the clouds stick around for awhile!
