Rain overnight has brought higher flows and slightly cooler water all across the board today. These higher flows, combined with off-colored water and overcast skies, should be a perfect opportunity to bring out the streamers. Fish them as close to the bank as possible and be ready for a strike. However, don’t rule out the possibility of dry fly fishing as today could be another awesome day for BWO’s and Sulphurs on the West Branch. With lower-water clarity you may even be able to get away with throwing flies on 5 or 6X tippet. As always, work slowly and take your time when covering any section of water.
