The release from Cannonsville has been decreased a bit to 806 cfs. The West Branch will drop slightly through the afternoon. Today will be hot with sunshine and the air temp hitting 85 degrees. Wind will be from the South 5 – 10 mph. The air temp should drop back to normal September numbers on Tuesday. There were fewer bugs hatching yesterday than we’ve seen lately. That was probably due to the quick increased release from Cannonsville. Hopefully things settle down and stay steady for the week. There were still enough bugs hatching to find fish eating in the evening. Olives, heptagenia, and isonychias were out. Nymphing worked but you had to work around the weeds floating through in the higher water.
