The flows throughout the system have dropped dramatically as the runoff from the rain subsides. The lower West Branch out front looks fine this morning and is running clear. We’re coming off a cool night and should only see the temp rise to high 70’s today. We’ll see a mix of clouds with less than 1/10″ of rain overnight. The change in the weather is going to be great for the rivers. Definitely have your olive box ready along with your small sulphurs. Hopefully the cooler weather and cloud cover pushes the isonychia hatch earlier in the day. We have been seeing more caddis over the last week too.
The flow at Hale Eddy looks just about normal this morning
