There is another good frost on the ground this morning so it will take a while to warm up. We’ll eventually hit 59 degrees with some cloud cover and wind 8 – 14 mph from the South. The release from Cannonsville was increased about 40 cfs. The flow at Stilesville is 940 cfs this morning. There is color in the West due to the release but it hasn’t bothered the fish or the bugs. There were decent olives and isonychias on some stretches yesterday and the fish were happy. There are even a few heptagenias still around.
There is some color in the West Branch from the release. The higher the release the more color will be in the river. It happens every Fall when the reservoir begins to turn over.
