The West Branch came through yesterday’s storms virtually untouched and is running 606 cfs at Hale Eddy this morning with a temperature of 59 degrees under the Hancock Bridge. Seems like we were extremely lucky and avoided the localized flooding on other sections of the system. There is potential for smaller storms today that could help the fishing and hopefully give us some cloud cover. The nymphing definitely improved yesterday and we did have some fish on top in the evening on sulphurs.
Very Cool- Bruce landed a brookie out front the other day- we see a few each season
