All of the rivers are still dropping to decent levels and look good this morning. The West Branch under the Hancock Bridge is a cool 62 degrees this morning despite yesterday’s heat. Nymphing the riffles and blind casting worked the best during the day yesterday and even into the evening. There were fewer bugs than normal out at dark. We are supposed to get some storms today and tomorrow that should help kick start some olives and the Isonchias. Right now the weekend looks great on Accuweather with the major storms missing us. Yesterday’s Reservoir storage update shows Pepacton at 100.2% and Cannonsville at 98.6%.
