The fifth annual Get Trashed is finished and it will take a few days for us to tally the amount of trash that was removed from the river. Thank you to all of the volunteers! The 6th Get Trashed is already being planned. See you all the same weekend in 2022!
The weather cool down certainly helped the water temps. The fishing has been the same for a while now with sulphurs and a few olives on the upper river and evening olives and cahills on the lower sections. Scattered Isonychias throughout the river. Overall it’s been decent for August and the West Branch and Upper East Branch water temps have stayed in good shape. Today should be 77 degrees with a mix of clouds and sun. Wind will be from the North 5 – 10 mph.
