Yesterday we had thunderstorms throughout the day which brought some much needed rain into the system. Flows on the West Branch are up slightly this morning but dropping back. The East Branch and Main Stem levels are still rising as of this morning. The rivers are clear and easily wadeable, plus floating is still an option. We’re seeing a mix of sulphurs, cahills, olives and caddis out there. Today will start off cloudy but the sun will be out later in the day.
