The Release from Cannonsville reservoir has been cut to 394 cfs; most likely do to yesterday’s rain. Flows for the moment are still floatable, but keep an eye on dropping water levels over the next few days. River has stayed relatively clean despite all the rain, but has some definite color to it. Yesterday the West Branch was fishing well with great hatches of small Olives and a good streamer bite as well. The Main Stem has been fishing okay, but is likely off color from the rapid rise in water levels coming from the East Branch.

“Off color” water usually mean a greenish or very light brown tint to it. “Muddy water” easy to notice, it looks like chocolate milk. Stained would be anything that is not a “gin clear”. I think “stained” and “off colored” can be interchangeable in a lot of cases.
