Local Advice

The East Branch is running crystal clear and easy to wade. At 46.0°F, trout are becoming active—your best approach is nymphing in the seams and bubble lines along the main current. When nymphing today, use a longer leader, watch your indicator closely for subtle takes, and don't hesitate to adjust your depth until you find the strike zone.
