It feels great out there this morning at 39 degrees. We’ll warm up to 68 with sunshine this afternoon. The wind will be much lower today between 4 – 6 mph from the West. Despite the wind yesterday people found some fish eating small olives in the broken water. Definitely a good sign for Fall. Caddis are picking up too. The water temps throughout the system are starting off a few degrees cooler this morning putting all of the rivers in good shape.
We’re beginning to see a bit of cloudiness in the West Branch from the release. It’s slight right now and doesn’t bother the fish. It happens every Fall when the reservoir begins to turn over.
