The downstream flow targets are being met by the runoff so the release from Cannonsville has been cut back to around 300 cfs this morning. The Mainstem is running a little over 2,000 cfs at Lordville so it will take a couple of days for the runoff to filter through the system. We’ll hit 65 degrees today with a mix of clouds and sunshine. Wind will be around 7 mph. Tonight we drop back into the 40’s with some showers overnight. Total rainfall should be less than 1/4″. Yesterday evening the fish did get on the tiny olives and there were a lot of caddis in the air. The lower flow should concentrate the little bugs and make it a little easier for the fish to set up on them.
There is some color in the West Branch from the release. The cloudiness will increase if they raise the release. It happens every Fall when the reservoir begins to turn over.
