The Cannonsville release has been increased to 500 cfs this morning. The West Branch cleared up nicely yesterday and is fishable. There is still some color in the river but not enough to keep the fish from rising. The Mainstem and lower East Branch are still pretty stained this morning. We had some sulphurs and isonychias hatching yesterday with a few olives thrown in for good measure. Streamer worked okay earlier in the day. If you want to nymph go above Oquaga Creek on the West Branch where the flow is lower and clear. The forecast is calling for air temps around 60, winds around 10 mph and a 75% chance of thunderstorms. We may get over a 1/2″ of rain today which will be great for the reservoirs. Bring your raincoat.
