The forecast changes every time we check so keep an eye on the radar today. Right now they are calling for .3″ of rain with some localized heavier rain. Wind won’t be a factor today. The flows have dropped a bit more since yesterday and everything looks good this morning. The cloud and rain should help push the bugs like it did last weekend. Olives, Heptagenia, and a few Isonychias should hatch in the early afternoon. We’re still seeing algae in the Upper West Branch so streamers and nymphing are better below Hale Eddy.

Today will be 62 degrees with light rain totaling around 1/4″. Wind will be light and variable.

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.
Dark Blue Wing Olive – #16 – 18 – Baetis spp.
