The release from Cannonsville is 193 cfs. The Mainstem at Lordville is a ridiculous 419 cfs. What can you even say about that.
The wind was tough yesterday so while we saw a fair amount of mayflies and caddis most of the fishing was underneath. We are coming off a cooler night so water temperatures have dropped a bit on the East Branch and Mainstem. Today will stay cool with some winds in the afternoon dropping into the evening. I looks like another good day to nymph, swing wet flies, or strip small woolly buggers in the riffles. If you find a wind break definitely have your small olives, isonychias, and heptagenia patterns ready.
