We got hit with a storm we didn’t see coming last night. Wunderground was way off on the 1/4″ predicted and the flow is 2,720 cfs at Hale Eddy this morning. It has peaked and is dropping quickly already. It is off color but should recover quickly with a release from Cannonsville of only 695 cfs. The dry fly fishing was picking up with the lower water but it will take a day or two to get back there. Looking at the 10 day forecast we shouldn’t see any additional rain that matters until Tuesday. Hopefully they have this forecast correct. Streamers will be your best bet today.
The West Branch flow is dropping quickly already this morning.
