With the bright sun yesterday, the streamer bit was ok and the bugs started around 3pm on the lower river. Among the mix were dorotheas, isos, invaria, green drakes, pseudos, and even some March browns still! With the dropping water levels, the fish are becoming more active in the afternoon and today should be fairly similar to yesterday. The West Branch is wadable nearly everywhere and so is the Upper main.
Jordan found a few little guys to take his green drake.
