Today looks like a great fall fishing day. The Accuweather forecast is calling for air temperatures in the mid 60’s, a few light rain showers, and winds only gusting 6 – 8 mph. It looks like the air temeperatures will begin to drop tonight leaving us with a cooler but comfortable weekend. We are still seeing olives hatching in certain areas around 4 pm. The hatching may begin a little earlier today with the overcast sky and light showers. Streamers on the West Branch and nymphing on the lower East and upper Main are still viable options before the hatching starts. The release from Cannonsville Reservoir is 880 cfs.
Hatching:
Slate Drake #14 – Isonychia bicolor
Olive Sulphur #18 – 20 – Heptagenia hebe
Light Cahills #14 – various steno species (invaria, etc)
Tiny Blue Wing Olives #22-26 – Pseudo sp. (now classified as Acentrella sp.)
Charcoal Caddis #14 -16 – dark Brachycentrus sp.
