We had some very localized thunderstorms yesterday that did add some water to the system. The West Branch is climbing at Hale Eddy but is clear enough to fish this morning in Hancock. Stilesville is still pretty steady and is flowing at 526 cfs- the same as yesterday morning. Streamers could be a good choice early with the higher flows on the lower West Branch. So far it is clear enough for the fish to rise if the olives and cahills hatch in the afternoon. The river above Oquaga Creek should be fine and hold the usual mix of afternoon olives and sulphurs. We should see cloud cover most of the day but no rain. There is a slight chance of a passing shower but it looks slim.
