The West Branch flow has settled back to where it was before all of the rain. The flow at Hale Eddy is 600 cfs and clear. There is still a lot of water in the East Branch but that should drop quite a bit today. Yesterday offered up a good mix and people landed fish on streamers, nymphs, and dry flies. We’ll have sun today and a high of 86 degrees. We should see the sulphurs in the afternoon on the river sections with the coldest water. The lower river sections should happen as the sun drops. Nymphing will be your best bet until the hatches start.
What’s Hatching:
Sulphur – #16 – 20 – E. dorothea
Light Cahill – #14 – E. invaria
Slate Drake – #12-2xl – 12 – Isonychia bicolor

Blue Wing Olives – #16 – 20 – D. deficiens, lata
