Brodhead, Monroe, 4/8/24

[JLB]

Good day on the Lower Brodhead. Water is still moving at a good clip but clear. Around 3ish noticed some rises in the slower moving water and was treated to a decent Hendrickson hatch. ~10 +/- browns. Biggest was pushing 17. CDC sparkle duns. Dust settled around 5ish. Stones and tiny black Caddis were also out in good numbers.

Thanks for the report! I was in the preserve on March 30th. Mostly tan caddis that day, with sparser hatch of Hendricksons and/or quills popping around the same time of day. Water was around 150 on the Analomink gauge but clear, and some fish were rising. I struggled to catch 5 fish that windy, chilly day.
