Yesterday was a continuation of the normal sulphur hatching on the upper river plus a light mix of sulphurs, olives, and Isos on the lower sections. The fish were willing to rise during the day in shaded areas. We had more clouds than the weatherman called for during the day which was a huge help. Today it looks like they are calling for periods of rain, some brief periods may be heavy. We’ll wait and see- most of their recent predictions of heavy rain have fallen short for those of us on the West Branch. The water temps remain cool with the West Branch under the Hancock Bridge at 58 degrees this morning. On July 11th Cannonsville Reservoir was at 97.9% capacity.
