A nice calm day yesterday, mostly cloudy, brought out quite a few bugs, but as expected the fish were a bit ‘shocked’ from the flow and cold water. It looks like more of the same today -overcast and highs near 80. We expect the West Branch to fish well throughout the day, so long as the bugs decide to cooperate with us!
