The cloud cover stuck around most of the day, the bugs hatched, and the fish were happy. Some sections are still seeing decent hatches of hendricksons and apple caddis while other sections are seeing march browns, gray fox, and sulphurs starting up. The spill from Cannonsville Reservoir is dropping so we are seeing the flow drop below the reservoir this morning. We should be at great wading levels this weekend. We have more sun today with warm air temperatures and light winds. It’s going to be a pleasant day out there.
