We should have a couple light thunderstorms moving through this afternoon into tomorrow. The forecast is calling for low precipitation amounts and light winds. Today and tomorrow could be really good days to be on the water. Definitely carry your olives and sulphurs. On the rainy days we’ve seen some larger olives hatching so make sure you have some #18 flies with you. The river levels have dropped back and are fairly steady. The West Branch is in great shape for floating and wading. he lower East and Mainstem are still heating up in the afternoons. Smallmouth fishing on the lower Mainstem has been good.
