This is another morning of overcast skies and heavy mist / very light rain. The precipitation should end around 10 am but according to Accuweather the clouds should hang around most of the day. It looks like most of the heavier rain will go south of us today. Yesterday cleared up earlier than expected and we had a mix of sun and clouds throughout the afternoon. There were a lot of different bugs on the water with a mix of hendricksons, blue quills, and apple caddis making up the majority. Fish were eating on top but definitely were more comfortable during cloud cover and after the sun dropped in the late afternoon. We also had some hendrickson and blue quill spinners into dark. The West Branch under the 191 Bridge is starting off at 59 degrees this morning. Cannonsville is at 99.4% capacity.
