Summer reared its ugly head yesterday, and we had bright sun and a bit of wind throughout the day. The upper West Branch fished well, with sporadic hatching throughout the day, but the lower stretches held off until dark. The Main and East were still a bit discolored, so there wasn’t too much action over there, however they are clearing fast and we expect them to pick up again soon. July fishing on the East, who would’ve thought!
