Yesterday’s rain and runoff have the rivers running higher this morning. The release from Cannonsville has also been increased to 1,499 cfs. Cannonsville Reservoir is close to spilling at 99.7% capacity. We had clouds, rain, and cooler air temperatures yesterday so the water temps never really climbed. Today looks windy but definitely warmer with some light rain. The weather should turn more favorable after the weekend. The higher water flows leaves streamers as the best option. You may be able to nymph up fish in soft edges but covering water makes the most sense. Winds will make it tough in the afternoon but hopefully Wunderground is not correct.
