The West Branch flow at Stilesville is 990 cfs and falling this morning. The release hotline says 1,066 cfs but that hasn’t matched the gauge in a long time. The East Branch flow at Harvard is 577 cfs and falljng slowly. That definitely opens up more wade opportunities on both rivers. Overall the weekend fished well with a combo of dry fly fishing and streamer fishing. The streamer fishing may slow down a little as the water drops but nymphing areas will become more defined. The sulphurs, isonychias, and olives should hatch like normal. Mid day in the coldest water and evening on the lower river sections. Especially since we’ll see quite a bit of sun today. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the North.

Sulphur – #18 – 20 – E. dorothea
Light Cahill – #14 – E. invaria
