Yesterday was pretty warm, but the water temperatures managed to stay pretty decent, even into the upper main. Everyone saw bugs, including Isos on the West, Cornutas on the West and main, and Dortheas everywhere. Charcoal caddis were also reported on the upper West Branch, with fish actively feeding on them. HOT weather in the forecast, so check temps on a regular basis to make sure you are fishing in ‘safe’ (under 68 degree F) water!
