The river flows are dropping back and the West Branch looks good this morning with a flow of 715 cfs at Hale Eddy. We’re in good shape for floating and wading today. The Lower East and Mainstem are still high but dropping. Overall yesterday was a good day fishing both streamers and dries. Today looks similar so streamers or nymphs early and look for olives in the afternoon. It definitely looks like olive weather. Have a few Isonychias and Heptagenia with yo too. We’re still seeing algae in the Upper West Branch so streamers and nymphing are better below Hale Eddy.
Today will be 63 degrees, overcast, with a slight chance of a shower. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the East.
What’s Hatching:
Olive Sulphur – # 18 – 20 – Heptagenia hebe
Slate Drake – # 12 – 14 – Isonychia bicolor
Dark Blue Wing Olive – #18 – 20 – deficiens, lata
Tiny Blue Wing Olive – #22 – 26 – Pseudocleon sp.
Olive Caddis – #16 – 18 – Ryacophilia sp.
Tan Caddis – #16 – 18 – Hydropsyche sp.
