The release from Cannonsville is holding steady at 978cfs so far this morning. The West Branch is starting to clear but remains slightly off-color. We saw more hatching on the Main yesterday than on the West Branch with small olives, white flies, stenos and some Iso spinners. The caddis were out in force as the sun went down last night but were of no interest to the fish. They’re forecasting another bright, sunny day with unseasonably high temperatures. Look for rising fish in the shade or as the sun drops behind the ridge. If you’re wading the West Branch today, be careful out there at this level – the rocks are slick!
“Crash” found a nice streamer eater yesterday.
