Today we are expecting sunny skies and air temperatures in the mid 80’s. Water temperatures on the Upper West Branch are still the best in the area, the Lower West Branch saw water temperatures peaking around 68º during the day yesterday. Today plan on looking for plenty of Sulphurs with a few BWO’s in the mix, also don’t forget there are Iso’s in the area, please do not shy away from throwing an over-sized Iso at the banks or dead-drifting one through a good looking riffle. Remember be patient and always make sure your fly is drifting in front of your fly line.
