Fished from the preserve (Sharpless Rd.) down to DE and back. The last part was just walking. Lots of tan caddis and some midges; only sunfish seemed to be rising. Water was pretty clear and already below average even though it just rained. Temp was 68. Fished and walked fro 9-2 and brought several fish to hand mostly rainbows. They weren't hitting nearly as well as my last trip there but the water was ten degrees warmer. Fish were spread out pretty well and it was a beautiful day to be out!

I fished the middle branch at london tract road last night after work for the first time. I've never fished this stream before so i don't know what's average, but the water was too low for fish to be spread out. All of the fish I encountered were in a few of the deeper holes. Water temp was 68. I brought 2 bows and 1 brown to hand with a mix of a couple other rough fish. As usual, missed and lost a few too. Size 20 black zebra midge worked best.

Median flow is around 58 cfs; it 's around 34 now so yeah it's low. That's why I went the day after it rained.....The fish were mostly in deeper runs where I fished as well, but I moved some in knee deep riffles too. Rain is on the way!
