Fishing on the West Branch was a little bit tough yesterday, but definitely picked up on the Main Stem, which is running much cleaner and clearer than the West. We had hatching on both rivers, but the fish did not seem very active on the West aside from a handful of quick caddis strikes. We will have some more boats out on the water today, so hopefully will be bringing good news for you tomorrow!
