All of the rivers are high and off color this morning but the flows are already dropping. The release from Cannonsville has been increased to 1,499 cfs. We just had steady rain yesterday but it came down for hours. We should see the feeder streams drop quickly and the main rivers should clear. The West Branch will have the fall color to it if they keep the release high. We have some light rain in the forecast today and tomorrow but Wunderground is predicting around 1/4″. The weekend looks good with air temps in the 60’s, clouds, and luckily no rain in the forecast right now. Today looks like a streamer day but if you’re out there bring a dry fly rod and watch the long, slower edges of tailouts. You may get lucky and find a few fish eating olives in the afternoon.
