The West Branch continues to be the best bet with flows suitable for wading and floating, plus water temperatures at the Hancock Bridge of 57 degrees this morning. Look for some daytime stenos / cahills during the day. We had mixed reports from yesterday but some people found the right spot and had decent fishing. Otherwise nymphing the riffles and blind casting Isonychias in the riffles should bring some fish to the net. When the sun drops look for sulphurs and more cahills coming off into dark. The lower EB and the upper MS are still colored and high. As of yesterday Cannonsville Reservoir is 98.6% full and the West Branch at Walton is flowing in at 807 cfs.
Keep an eye out for Steno Spinners at dark
