Nymphing seemed to be the best bet yesterday with a few olives and caddis towards dark bringing some fish up. There were some isonychia spinners in the air but we never saw them hit the water. Hopefully someone was lucky. We should see a cool down this week which should help push the Fall bugs again. Tonight will be in the low 50’s rather than the 60’s we’ve seen for a while now. It looks like we should be 1/4″ of rain during the afternoon today. Win dis only 3 mph but gusting to 11. There is more rain coming overnight. We may see an additional 3/4 to 1″ fall. It sounds like the heavy rain may be isolated so the best thing to do is check all of the gauges in the morning.
There is some color 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.
