More water! Huzzah! Since we have now entered June, the release from Cannonsville has bumped up to 600 CFS. Combined with the cool, overcast weather and spitting rain yesterday, the water temps have cooled dramatically, giving us ‘back’ the East Branch and the Main Stem. Yesterday fished fairly well during the day, but we pretty much lost the evening due to high winds pushing the spinners to the trees, and your fly any direction but the one you wanted it to go. It is looking much calmer today, with overcast skies for much of the morning and into the early afternoon, with the sun starting to peek through around 2PM or so. The wind is also supposed to be significantly calmer today, so we should see our normal evening flurry occur.
