Yesterday’s rain showers caused little change to the flows in the system. The Cannonsville release has been raised slightly and now sits at 753 cfs. We should have cloud cover for most of the day with a very, very light rain shower in the late afternoon. Air temperatures should reach the high 50’s with light winds and gusts staying under 9 mph. Small olives are still the main hatch followed by a few isonychias and heptagenia. We are seeing a few isonychia spinners in the evening so carry a few just in case. There are a lot of caddis in the air and in the bushes. We haven’t seen great numbers of the on the water but swinging caddis pupa could be a decent technique.
