The aqueduct work has been pushed off again. It is now scheduled for Fall of 2024.
We had a few afternoon thunderstorms roll through but the West Branch looks fine this morning and only bumped 100 cfs at Hale Eddy. That leaves us in good condition for both floating and wading. Blind casting Isonychias in the riffles has improved with the cloud cover. If the sun pops out nymphing or swinging wets will be better bets until the sun drops in the evening. Midday hatches of small sulphur and olives are still happening in the coldest water sections. Stay as high as you can on the system to find the better daytime bugs.
Today will be 78 degrees with mostly cloudy skies. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the North.
What’s Hatching:
Sulphur – #16 – 20 – E. dorothea
Slate Drake – 12-2xl – 12 – Isonychia bicolor
