So NY didn’t forget how to “Yo Yo” the release on the West Branch after all! The Cannonsville release this morning is 576 cfs until further notice. Looking at the graph it seems that between midnight on Sunday and this morning they’ve managed to release as little as 450 cfs, as much as 600 cfs, and have now settled in just below that. If the release stays the same over the next few days the fish and insects should settle in and we’ll be back to our normal hatches of small olives, summer stenos, and a few Isonychias. Nymphing continues to be productive- especially in the morning before the sun burns the fog off of the water.
