10 am River Update. The feeder stream runoff has caught up to us and we are seeing color in the lower West Branch, Hopefully it pushes through today
Yesterday’s storms missed us on the lower West Branch. We did get hit one with this morning. The clarity is decent out front. The flow at Hale Eddy is 1,610 cfs and is already dropping. Stilesville looks fine at 507 cfs. It should be clear. Same fishing program. Look for the coldest water for daytime hatches. With the weather there is a decent shot at olives. Have some flying ants handy too. The higher water could be good for streamers if we don’t get hit with bright sunshine.
Today will be 77 degrees with partly cloudy skies. There is a chance of afternoon thunderstorms. Wind will be light and variable.
