It looks like Pepacton Reservoir has stopped spilling and Cannonsville is coming close. The spill over Cannonsville is only 162 cfs with a release of 299. The wind picked up a bit yesterday afternoon as the front came through . Nymphing was the answer in the wind but there were dry fly fish landed on caddis and small olives. The March Browns are still coming and that may be a good option if you find some wind protected areas on the Mainstem. It looks like some afternoon rain heading our way but so far it’s been a light mist. The last two storms missed us so we’ll see what happens. If the rain spreads out over a long period the West Branch should come through just fine. Hopefully most of it will soak into the ground.
