The release from Cannonsville was increased to 1,326 cfs bumping the West Branch flow up a few hundred cfs. The other rivers are dropping slowly but remain high. Floating is still the best and only option the tailwaters. Wading is best on the smaller streams. That won’t change until the reservoirs stop spilling. There is no rain on the 10 day forecast so hopefully the flows will drop early next week. We’re still finding some fish in the late afternoon eating stoneflies and caddis. The dry fly is still a bit inconsistent and spot specific with the high flows but some people are getting lucky. It will improve once we see more mayflies on the water and lower flows. Streamers and nymphs are still the best bet to put fish in the net.
Today will be cooler hitting 45 degrees. We’ll have sunshine which will help. The wind won’t seem to leave us and will be 10 – 20 mph from the North.
