The flows have dropped overnight and the rivers have cleared up nicely. We woke up to a great Spring morning with some sun and clouds. There are some showers moving in that are predicted to give us a 1/2 inch of precipitation throughout the day. The rain should be spread out over the next 12 hours so the rivers should be fine today. We’re still picking up most of our fish on nymphs and streamers but the mayfly nymphs are looking good. We are finding a lot of blue quill and hendrickson nymphs in our kick seines so it shouldn’t be too long before the upright wings are on the surface. Cannonsville is at 97.7% capacity with an inflow in Walton of 1,200 cfs. The West Branch under the 191 Bridge peaked at 51 degrees yesterday and is starting off at 47 degrees this morning. The water temperatures are there so the mayflies can’t be too far behind.
