A new season! Our daily reports will be posted by 8 am from today until October 31st.
Over the last two weeks we’ve dealt with 65 degree days and white out blizzards. The 10 day forecast shows us settled in to some warmer weather mixed with a few rainstorms. We were hit with heavy rains last night and the river flows are up. The West Branch is off color. We’ll see a few more showers this morning with wind 15 mph from the North. Wading is not recommended. People have been catching fish on streamers and nymphs for a few weeks now and it looks like the fish had a good winter and made it through healthy. We are seeing some stoneflies and blue wing olives but the water temps need to come up a bit more for the dry fly fishing to really start. A few small charcoal caddis are also in the bushes. In the meantime stick with fishing underneath.

Little Black Stonefly – #18 – Capniidae sp.
