Yesterday was a good day to be on the water. Fishing underneath worked well early and then we had some dry fly fishing on olives and a couple of isonychias in the afternoon. The flows are roughly the same this morning as yesterday. Today is going to be 71 degrees with some cloud cover. Wind will be 7 – 10 mph from the South.

There is some color in the West Branch from the release. The higher the release the more color will be in the river. It happens every Fall when the reservoir begins to turn over.
