It’s a bit warmer than we’ve seen for a few days at 42 degrees this morning. We should see 72 degrees by the afternoon with a mix of clouds and sunshine. The wind won’t be awesome at 15 mph but we had it yesterday and people caught fish. Hopefully id calms down in the evening again for the dry fly fishing. Tiny olives, heptagenia, and caddis patterns should definitely be handy. Isonychias are also around so have a few of those. When the wind is up try swinging wets trough some of the riffles. Fall is always a good caddis time.

We’re beginning to see a bit of cloudiness in the West Branch from the release. The cloudiness will increase if they raise the release. It happens every Fall when the reservoir begins to turn over.
