We’re coming off another cold night and the rivers are in good shape again this morning. We’re starting off at 40 degrees and should hit 69 by the afternoon. Sun with a few clouds. Wind will be 7 – 10 mph from the South. Sounds like another great early Fall day to be on the river. Yesterday was all about little olives where we were. By mid afternoon the fish were on them. There are a lot of young of the year fish in the river so watch the rise forms and you may have to hunt a bit for the bigger fish. There are also some caddis, isonychias, and heptagenia around so have those in your box too.
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.
