The release from Cannonsville Reservoir has been dropped to 312 cfs this morning on the following schedule:
8 am 396 cfs
10 am 312 cfs
There doesn’t seem to any water coming in from below to meet the downstream flow targets so it looks like they are anticipating the rain to bring the flows back up. Weatherunderground is calling for .6″ today, .6″ tomorrow, and right around .25″ on Saturday. The initial rain will soak right into the dry ground but if the amounts in the forecast are accurate we should see some decent runoff. We are still seeing some olives, heptagenia, and isonychias on the water but streamers still seem to be the most productive method. If we do get the rain and runoff streamer fishing should get better over the weekend.
