We did have good clouds yesterday with just a few breaks of sun. Olives, a lot of tiny flying ants, and a few Isonychias made up most of what we saw on the water. Nymphing and streamers worked early but there was some dry fly action in the afternoon / evening. Today will have a bit more sunshine but the fishing should be the same. Wind 5 – 10 mph from the North. The rain missed us so the flows are pretty much the same as yesterday. The West Branch has that light Fall tint it gets but it doesn’t bother the fish or bugs.
