We’re coming off another cool night which is great news for the river system. The water temperature at the Hancock Bridge is 55 degrees this morning and as of 6/20 Cannonsville was 98.4% capacity. Today is going to a little warmer with air temps in the low 80s with a slight chance of some T Storms – hopefully bring in some clouds this afternoon. Everyone fished late yesterday and found some sulphurs with a few Isonychias mixed in the riffles. The mayflies still seem to be coming in flushes last a couple of hours but the fish are eating them. Nymphing is best early before the sun really hits the water but offers your best chance of landing a fish even during the mid – day stretch. There are good numbers of tan caddis plus a few cornutas around so keep an eye on the riffles in the morning.
West Branch water temps are still holding on in late June!
