We had a few storms roll through in the evening and overnight but they were more bark than bite. Most of the rivers had a minor bump in flow but they are dropping back already. The West Branch looks good this morning and the water temperature is 58 in Hancock. The level is good for both wading and floating right now. Today looks good with a forecast of partly cloudy skies, low winds, and a slight chance of a shower in the afternoon. Little olives continue to be the main hatch followed by sulphurs and cahills. The isonychias are out there but the hatch is spread out so far. That’s not a terrible thing if you like to blind cast riffles and really work the water. We are pretty clear so nymphing or swinging wets is definitely an option today.
