The release from Cannonsville Reservoir has been dropped back to 700 cfs. We had a few periods of heavy rain yesterday but most of it seemed to slide Northwest of us. We did see a little color on the West Branch but not enough to ruin the fishing. We ‘re looking fine out front this morning. The West Branch flow should drop back a bit as the runoff subsides. The Beaverkill and East Branch flows both came up quite a bit with the rain. They are dropping back down this morning. The Mainstem at Lordville flow is still climbing as the East Branch water moves through. It should peak and begin to drop this afternoon.There were bugs both before and after the storms. The wind made fishing tough at times but there were some breaks. Hendricksons, blue quills, olives, and whole bunch of different caddis species are out there. And keep your March Brown patterns handy. Today will be a little cooler, partly cloudy, with a few showers late. The weekend loos great with clouds and some light rain here and there.
