The recent rains have made fishing tough but on the positive side Cannonsville Reservoir was at 82.4% capacity yesterday and the inflow from the West Branch in Walton is 5000 cfs this morning. The rivers are still high and off color this morning but there is a noticeable improvement on the West Branch. Visibility looks like a couple of feet making streamer fishing from a boat a decent option. We just need the water temps to rise about 10 degrees to get the fish active. Today should be cooler with some wind gusts in the 20’s. Accuweather is forecasting a warming trend over the next few days but it will take a while for the high water to warm up.
Fill that reservoir!
