We were hit with a decent rain storm last night and all of the rivers flows are up. The West Branch is off color. The flow at Hale Eddy peaked around 900 cfs and has already dropped back to 600 this morning. A few creeks are probably blown out but they should be dropping too based on how fast the river is dropping. Oquaga Creek peaked around 50 cfs so there are other creeks adding the color and volume. The river should be clear in Stilesville. The flow is a steady 521 cfs there. Wunderground shows another 1/4″ of rain today. A lot of people will be throwing streamers this morning. Close to Cannonsville should be fine for dries and nymphs. If we don’t get additional rain we should clear enough to find fish eating on the lower West this afternoon.
the flow at Hale Eddy this morning.
