The release from Cannonsville bumped up slightly over night and the flow at Stilesville is 771 cfs this morning. It’s 44 degrees this morning so water temps good great and there is just a little fog out there now. Wunderground is calling for sunshine, 72 degrees, and wind 5 – 10 from the North. Heptagenia, olives, isonychias, and a few caddis should round out the flies. If you’re fishing the Main until dark have some white flies in your box. Ants are around and we are catching fish on them. We just haven’t seen one massive fall yet. The sun may keep the dry fly fishing sporadic until the evening when the olives hatch. Nymphing and swinging wets may be good options during the afternoon. Blind casting large flies in the riffles can also produce.
