The warmer air temp and sunshine bumped the water temps throughout the system and some river sections had good hendrickson hatches yesterday. We are also still seeing blue quills, and quill gordons. Apple caddis are definitely hatching on some river sections – especially on the sunny days. The West Branch at hale Eddy finally peaked over 50 degrees. It’s been a cold Spring until now. The rivers are in great shape for floating and wading. We’re starting off cool this morning but should see the air temp hit 70 degrees with sunshine. Wind will be 10 – 15 mph from the North. That should definitely help the water temps.
