Hatching seemed a little slower yesterday during the day but the streamer bite was decent while we had cloud cover. There were some Gray Fox and March Browns on sections of the system with fish eating them. As a bonus the weatherman was wrong on the wind predictions and we never had to deal with the 26 mph gusts. It turned on at dark. Today looks decent with some cloud cover and light winds, maybe a brief thunderstorm or two rolling through. On the West Branch make sure you have #16 Hendrickson duns and spinners. Caddis have been coming off all over the system offering some daytime fishing.
