Yesterday was cold and wet but some bugs did hatch and some people caught fish. The wind made it difficult but there were some opportunities. We’re still seeing some Hendricksons and Blue Quills on the West Branch. Apple and tan caddis are out in good numbers on non windy days. There are some March Browns, Gray Fox, and likely some cahills on the lower East Branch and Mainstem. Olives have been good on cloudy and rainy days. Yesterday’s rain bumped the river flows slightly. Everything is still in decent shape for wading and the lower East, Main, and West Branch are fine for floating. Today will be totally different with light wind and much warmer air temp.
Today will be 71 degrees and overcast. There is a slight chance of a rain shower. Wind will be light and variable.
