Wunderground is calling for right around 1.75″ of rain today. The forecast has changed every time we’ve checked so we’ll have to wait and see what we really end up with. If the river flows change dramatically during the day we’ll do another update. The release from Cannonsville has been cut back to 135 cfs so someone in an office somewhere is convinced we’re getting a lot of rain. Most of the weather channels have the rain starting around lunchtime and lasting all day. If that is accurate there will be opportunities to fish today before the runoff really hits. While we’ve had some rain lately the ground is still pretty dry and should soak up the early rain. Wind will be 7 – 12 mph from the South and the air temp will peak around 60 degrees. Yesterday was a mix of olives and caddis. The water was low so the bugs were concentrated in the foam lines. It ended up being a good day on the water.
