We were hit with some more rain yesterday evening but not enough to change the rivers much. The West Branch is clear and at a decent level for wading and floating. The release from Cannonsville was dropped back to 500 cfs. Small olives, sulphurs, and a few isonychias are making up the bulk of the hatches. Today will be close to 80 degrees but the sky should be mostly cloudy. Wind from the North 5 – 10 mph. We may see a bit of rain from some scattered storms but the predicted amount is less than 1/10″.
