The West and East Branches dropped slightly but still remain high. There is only 156 cfs spilling over Cannonsville. The release is 1,499 cfs. The spill won’t last much longer so the flow will come down to the release over the next couple of days. We should see wadeable water on the West Branch this week. Yesterday turned out to be a beautiful day with little holiday traffic on the water.Nymphs and streamers are the best bets still but we’re hearing more people finding fish on stoneflies and little black caddis. The dry fly fishing will improve as the water drops and warms up a bit.
Today should be beautiful hitting 63 degrees with “plentiful sunshine” according to Wunderground. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the North.
