Today looks like another nice day with some clouds rolling in during the early evening. The system is slowly receding back to normal levels and the Main Stem still has some color. The West Branch is still the best bet for wading, floating for dry fly activity. The afternoons sulphurs are continuing to hatch on the upper river with a mix of summer stenos and Isonychias on the mid to lower river. Streamers are producing some fish but the activity is best before the sun burns the morning fog off and hits the water. Nymphs and wet flies are also producing some fish if you stay below most of the weeds.
