Today will be much warmer which is a welcome change. There is no snow in the forecast. The warmer next few days should help bump the water temps and hopefully push the hatches. The feeder streams are up a bit from yesterdays rain but it shouldn’t be noticeable on the West Branch. We’re still at decent levels for wading and floating. The wind will be up a bit so try to find protected areas with good slow foam lines. It’s still early in the season so nymphing and streamers will be the best choices but we are seeing some olives, little black caddis, and stoneflies.
Today will be 53 degrees with cloudy skies. Wind will be 10 – 20 mph from the North.
