Last evening we had some brief thunderstorms that added a little water to the system and plenty of fog. The water temperatures throughout look great this morning and most of the rivers besides the West Branch remain wadeable. Floating is the best bet on the West Branch and opens up a lot of opportunities with the cold water down the Mainstem. Upper river sections are still fishing well with sulphurs while the lower river sections are seeing more cahills and isonychias.
Accuweather is calling for today to be a warmer version of yesterday. Some clouds in the morning giving way to sun, with some afternoon / early evening thunderstorms. Winds should be 5 mph with gusts to 8 mph. Light but hopefully still enough of a breeze to blow some of the fog off the rivers.
