The weather worked in our favor yesterday with some decent cloud cover until late afternoon. Nymphing was productive in the morning and by late evenign we started to see a mix of sulphurs, stenos, and Isonychias. At least for me yesterday was the opposite of the weekend with most of our fish eating #18 sulphurs and not the Isos. By evening the fish were happy and most of the people we saw had some targets to work with- Pretty good for the end of June. Today is going to be a little warmer with a possible thunderstorm. The humidy will be up but it shouldn’t feel too bad on the river. Cannonsville was 97.8% yesterday and the water temperature is 56 degrees at the Hancock Bridge.
