Rivers are on the drop from recent precipitation. The Lower East is still showing some color, with the West Branch falling and clearing a bit faster. We’ve got a few chilly mornings in the coming days, making nymphing your best bet if you plan to fish the AM. There are still some olives present in the afternoons, so if  you’re looking for dry fly opportunities, focus your efforts on the slower pools and tail outs. Long leaders, light tippet, and sparse fly patterns have been the norm.

Streamers will continue to be effective as we move into November. A nice slow swing through likely water has proven productive. Keep things small and on the more natural side of the color spectrum. As fish move into cold weather holding positions, covering water will be key in finding fish that are willing to slide over for a fly.
