The release from Cannonsville was increased a bit to 917 cfs. There are spots to wade the West at this level but not too many. The lower East Branch and Mainstem are both relatively low and easy wading at these levels. They may be better choices. It’s cool this morning but not as cold as we thought it would be down along the river. The sun will come out today and push the air temp close to 60 degrees by mid afternoon. Wind should be 6 – 8 mph which will feel like a gentle breeze after yesterday. Some fish did rise yesterday but the wind turned it into more of a streamer / nymph day. Start off underneath today but the evening should fish in the slower pools and tailouts with olives, isonychias, heptagenia, and caddis.
