Another day of steady release. The West Branch remains the same and the East is dropping slightly- although it can’t drop too much more. We’re in for another day that doesn’t feel like October. We should see air temperatures in the mid 60’s, sunshine, and a downstream wind around 10 mph. It’s actually pretty pleasant to be out on the water for this time of year. There is still color coming out of Cannonsville so the West Branch is still in streamer shape. Bring some little olives too for the big slow tailouts. The East Branch is low so there’s not a lot of moving water to work. The Mainstem remains relatively low but it’s great for wading. We’re still finding most of the fish in the big slow pools and the fish seem to be moving a lot while they eat. If they pass by you in a big pool give them a little bit to complete the round and come back by. Lots of cruisers lately.
Caddis seem to be doing well on the East
