Showers this morning and mild temperatures have that fishy feel in the air today. Water conditions are very favorable throughout the entire system really, and the fishing has been pretty decent when we get this kind of weather. Flows on the West Branch are relatively low for drift boat access, but some sections should be no problem. Caddis have been showing up in fair numbers lately in the evenings and have produced some surface activity and days like today will typically consist of pretty decent Olive numbers as well. The streamer fishing has slowed with dropping water levels, but with things being slightly off color still, streamers will still produce good fish, particularly on overcast days like today. The nymphing action has probably been the most consistent as of late.
