We had a few extra clouds come in yesterday afternoon that helped us deal with the heat. We are seeing a continuation of the evening hatches on the mid to lower West Branch with a few more Summer Stenos than Isonychias showing up on the water. The sulphurs are still coming at dark followed by the spinners into dark. Nymphing is best on the mid to lower river due to the green slime on the upper sections. It’s been most productive in the mornings before the sun really hits the water. The Upper West Branch still has the daytime sulphurs mixed with a few Isos and small olives on rainy days. If we do get a shower move down river to alleviate some of the summertime fog.
