Yesterday’s storms were scattered and a bit unpredictable. We had breif perids of rain and wind on the lower West Branch while other people had measurable amounts of hail. Overall the flows look good this morning with slight increases from runoff. The rivers are already dropping this morning. The West Branch is clear and still fine for wading and floating. The march brown hatch is picking up and we’re still seeing hendricksons, apple caddis, tan caddis, and a few quill gordons on the colder water sections. The hatching was decent on some rivers in between the rain. We’re going to be much cooler today with the air temp only hitting 63 degrees. That and the cooler night will help the water temps on the lower river sections. A mix of clouds and sun with wind 10 – 20 from the North as this front pushes through.
