West Branch, P/C skies in the high 70's, water was around 50 degrees with LOTS of slime coming down from the dam. Arrived 3 pm. Various sized sulphurs, sparse march browns- bwo- caddis. Algae coming down made it nearly impossible to fish a dropper off the back of your fly. We did take fish on sulphur cdc emerger, floating nymph and thorax tie sulphur.

Morning...Upper EB, cloudy with morning t-storm, air temp mid 70's, water around 54 degrees and as clear as Clarks in August.
Little bwo's, craneflies, caddis. Fish caught on small bwo emergers.
Evening...Upper EB. Partly cloudy, comfy temps and water still in the 50's. Arrived around 5pm. Still conditions and cool water made for a very foggy evening. Visibility was less that 3' at some points. Fishing was done by guessing where the rise was or waiting for a 1 minute open window in the fog. Sulphurs, caddis and bwo's were going when we arrived. Prior to dark, clouds of black caddis came back to drop eggs. Caddis were large (14) and the fish were violently rising to them. It was like night fishing from 5pm - 9pm. Almost impossible to see what you were doing or where the fish were. Fish taken on sulphur emergers. As we walked out, we turned on our headlamps.... never saw the water so covered with bugs in my life. Millions upon millions of sulphurs, bwo, caddis and a few straggler drakes.

Heavy morning t-storms dumped lots of much needed water. Back to Upper EB. Drove to several sections trying to avoid muddy tribs and the fog. Fished around long flat in a steady drizzle. Saw one rise and took him on a egg laying caddis.
w/o fog and slime.... I think we would have really put up some big numbers. We did catch a TON of little browns in the 3-6" range on the EB. That's a good sign. I'll try to get some photos posted under the "photos" section of the site.
