Yesterday was another cold day with some odd snow showers and wind. Despite the weather some people did land fish nymphing. This morning it looks like a whole new world. The sun is shining, there is no wind, and the forecast is calling for air temperatures in the 50s. We are on a warming trend this week so hopefully the bugs will show again over the next couple of days. The rivers are starting off cold this morning but should warm up by the afternoon with the help of the sun. The West Branch under the 191 Bridge in Hancock is 39 degrees this morning. The flow is 500 cfs at Hale so the sun will do a world of good for the WB temps today. Cannonsville Reservoir is 99.7% capacity with an inflow from the WB at Walton of 921 cfs.
