The forecast today is calling for clear skies with slightly lower air temperatures peaking in the mid 80’s. Wind gusts will pick up slightly in the afternoon and peak just under 10 mph – definitely still fishable. Luckily a lot of the extreme heat called for in earlier forecast was wrong and we are even looking at some light rain tomorrow with totals a little over 1/4″ We are still seeing decent number of sulphurs and olives hatching mid-afternoon on the upper West Branch. There are a few isonychias around. We have seen more over the last week so hopefully that trend continues.
The steady release from Cannonsville has been great for wading and floating
