The release from Cannonsville is 1,142 cfs this morning. Most of the runoff has subsided and the flows are steady. The West Branch has the chalky color we get in the Fall but the fish do not mind. Streamer fishing has still been decent with the higher release. We are seeing some olives, cahills, and isonychias hatch- particularly in shaded areas in the afternoons. Flying ants are still around too. The cooler nights have helped the water temperatures and it’s really beginning to feel like Fall. The next few days look decent with some clouds coming in tomorrow. Air temperatures will drop but still be comfortable through the weekend.
