The weather looks good for fishing today with clouds moving in before lunch and some light rain in the evening. The rivers are in good shape with decent flows, clarity, and temperatures this morning. Hopefully the clouds and rain push the hatching up today and we see mayflies by mid afternoon. Sulphurs, olives, and isonychias are still the main insects with some black caddis and cahills coming off sporadically. Nymphing and swinging wets flies worked well early in the day before the hatches started.
We have additional rain coming overnight which should keep the rivers in good shape through the weekend. Cannonsville and Pepacton are still filling with Pepacton leading the race at 99.2% capacity this morning.
