The release from Cannonsville Reservoir has been dropped to 280 cfs. The spill over Cannonsville is currently 31 cfs. The runoff and spill are subsiding so the West Branch is in great shape for wading this morning and is still floatable in the lower sections. Today looks like a great fishing day with Weatherunderground forecasting cloudy skies, winds 8 mph and below, and a possible shower or two giving us around .12″ of rain. Caddis have been a mainstay for us over the last few days and we expect that to continue. Size 16-20 tan patterns are working well for us.
