The forecast looks pretty decent today before the front moves in bringing the cold temperatures and light rain tomorrow night through the weekend. We should hit 50 degrees today with winds gusting to 8 mph but averaging more like 5 mph. We should see some pseudos hatching plus the last little flushes of the Isonychias. Dark caddis have worked okay on sporadic fish that are eating left over spinners and dead caddis in the larger pools. Nymphing has been okay but most effective mid morning with caddis pupa and small pheasant tails working best. The West Branch under the 191 Bridge in Hancock is 51 degrees this morning.
Keeping the Iso box full…hoping for a few more shots this season
Hatching:
Tiny Blue Wing Olives #22 – 26 – Pseudocloeon sp.
Dark Blue Winged Olive #16 -20 – E. deficiens, lata, etc.
Slate Drakes #14 -Isonychia bicolor
