We’re starting off in the 40’s again and will hit 70 degrees this afternoon. Sunshine and wind 3 – 4 mph from the South. The release from Cannonsville has been increased a little to 687 cfs so the flow at Stilesville is 719 cfs. Not much of a change. Today pretty much looks like a repeat of yesterday. Nymphing was the best bet mid day but by late afternoon fish were beginning to show on small olives and heptagenia. A few caddis and yellow sallies were in the air but mostly mayflies on the water. Some river sections saw some isonychia spinners towards dark too. There’s no rain the forecast for the next few days and the feeder streams are really low. Any rain that comes soon will soak into the ground.
