The release from Cannonsville has been increased slightly to 1,044 cfs. That won’t be a noticeable flow change on the river. We are getting back into the abnormally warm temperatures we’ve had most of the Fall. We should see 66 degrees, light winds, and sunshine by mid afternoon. Olives are still the main hatch if you’re looking for surface feeders. There are some caddis around but most of them are being eaten under the surface. Think wet flies and pupa patterns. Streamers were producing again. Even that seems to fish better when the flows are steadier. We still have color in the West Branch coming out of the dam. This may be a good day to do a West Branch streamer run and end up on the Mainstem looking for rising fish in the afternoon.
