Despite the bright sun throughout the day yesterday, the West Branch and Upper Main fished VERY well, with hatches throughout the day. Today, we’ve got overcast skies this morning, which we expect to break in a few hours, and then more cloud cover coming in – everyone say, “olives!” Should be another fantastic day with Dortheas, Cornutas and Isos galore!
