We should have a little cooler weather today with air temps in the high 70’s. Wind gusts will be around 10 mph but should drop back in the evening. It looks the forecast is changing every couple of hours but right now our best chance for light rain and cloud cover is Wednesday. Keep the normal patterns with you to cover olives, small sulphurs, cahills, and golden drakes. Isnonichias have been around but we have not seen a heavy hatch of them. Do not go to the river without flying ant patterns. We are seeing decent numbers of them in the afternoon. The flows remain steady with the best temperatures on the West Branch and upper East Branch. Both the lower East Branch and Mainstem are starting off at 69 degrees this morning so they are in decent shape for smallmouth fishing but not for trout.
