The releases from both dams have been cut back. The West Branch flow at Stilesville is 930 cfs and the East Branch flow at Harvard is 617 cfs. This definitely opens up more wade opportunities and is still good for floating. It should also concentrate the bugs and make the dry fly fishing a little better. The Blue Quills and Olives are just starting and should pick up over the next couple of days. There are still a lot of caddis and stoneflies on the water. Most fish are still being landed on nymphs and streamers but hopefully that switches with the warm weather and lower flows.
Yesterday was July hot out there. today loos similar but we may see a few more clouds. The air temp will hit 86 degrees with light and variable wind. We cool back down tomorrow.
