The forecast yesterday called for evening thunderstorms, but got a bunch of them much earlier in the day. The rain was heavy at times and the West Branch got muddy by the afternoon. People were able to find fish in between the rain both on nymphs and streamers. The sulphurs hatched late but well.
The West Branch has crested and is stained but clearing quickly. The East Branch is still muddy but will start to clear tomorrow. Definitely a day for streamers on the West and watching for rising fish in the slower corners and tails of the pools. Use extra caution when wading since the banks will be muddy.
Today will be in the high 70s with a chance of additional thunderstoms in the evening. Wind will be 5-10 mph from the South.
