The flows and river temperatures haven’t changed much from yesterday morning which is a good sign for fishing today. Despite yesterday’s wind the fish did get active on the surface in between gusts and in protected areas. The hatches have been brief in the mid afternoon but should increase in length over the next few days. The forecast looks fantastic with the rest of the week in the 60’s with a mix of sun and clouds. Blue winged olives, blue quills, and a few of the first early hendricksons have been spotted. Nymphing is still the most effective method but definitely keep your eyes open for risers. The West Branch under the 191 Bridge in Hancock is 44 degrees this morning and peaked at 46 yesterday. It will climb higher today. Cannonsville is at 100.5% capacity with an inflow at Walton of 673 cfs.
