We had a bit of rain last night but not enough to really change the rivers. The flow at Stilesville is up to 598 this morning but looks like it has leveled off. Hopefully this slight rise will help flush some of the green slime out of the upper river. The slime hasn’t hurt the dry fly fishing but has made nymphing above Hale Eddy difficult. The daytime sulphur hatches are still going strong with the occasional Isonychia mixed in. The mid to lower West Branch has been fishing in the late afternoons and evenings with the usual mix of sulphus, summer stenos, and Isonychias. They are calling for isolated T storms today and tomorrow. Tough to say whether they will hit us or not but the cloud cover and rain would be a welcome sight on the river. The temperature under the Hancock Bridge was 58 degrees this morning and Cannonsville is 98.7%.
