We had a little more rain last night that should continue through part of the day today. Air temperatures are a little cool but we should peak close to 50 today. Each day is forecasted to be a little warmer which is great news for the weekend. Due to the recent rains the release from Cannonsville has been increased to 402 cfs under FFMP chart 4A. Looking at the plan is seems we moved into Storage zone L1B. Cannonsville storage is now 97.6% with the inflow at Walton coming in at 1,470 cfs this morning.
Yesterday was a nice overcast fishing day. We saw fewer Hendricksons than the day before but the olives made up for it. Fish were eating on top once the olives got going mid-afternoon. Some river sections are fishing better than others right now so move around if you don’t see anything for a while. Nymphing before the hatches start has also been productive. Today may turn out to be the same with the light rain and cloud cover.
Jared had a good afternoon yesterday
