The Lower East Branch and Upper Main Stem have cleared nicely over the last couple of days and temperatures remain great for July. Lordville is starting off at 60 degrees this morning and Fish’s Eddy is 56 degrees. This opens up a lot of water for those who wish to explore a bit. The West Branch continues to fish well with Sulphurs, some Isonychias, and Light Cahills. If we get some light rain we should see large flushes of Pseudos. Just to mix it up up try blind fishing Cahills in the riffles rather than Isonychias- the fish seem to be on them. The West Branch under the 191 Bridge is 57 degrees this morning.
