The release from Cannonsville is 150 cfs this morning leaving the Mainstem at Lordville flowing at a ridiculous 583 cfs. Luckily is is raining this morning although it’s light so far. Accuweather is predicting a little over 1/4″ by 6 pm tonight with an additional inch falling before tomorrow morning. Hopefully Accuweather really is accurate this time. Winds will make fishing tough today with gusts reaching 44 mph. Sustained winds should be in the high teens. Let’s hope they are wrong on that part of the forecast. If you can find a spot where the wind is blocked we have been fishing small olives in slower water on most afternoons. If it’s impossible to hide from the wind nymphing the riffles will be the best option. If enough rain falls and the rivers color up streamers may be an option but that’s more likely to come into play tomorrow.
