The rivers are dropping slowly after the weekend’s rain. Stilesville is holding steady at 589 cfs and Hale Eddy has dropped to 1,010 cfs opening more water for wading on the lower West Branch. There was still some color in the West last night but it was clear enough for the fish to rise. The best dry fly fishing is still happening in Deposit with mid day sulphurs, isonychias, and olives. We found some fish on the lower West last night but most of the action was at dark on olives. Today is the last day of heat and bright sun. It looks like a mirror image of yesterday with high 80’s and just a few clouds. Tomorrow we should see high 70’s to low 80’s with a light storm and just under 1/4″ of rain.
