We’re coming off a warm night and will hit 71 degrees today. Wind will be 4 – 7 mph from the South. We should have decent cloud cover most of the day. We’re still finding a good number of olives mixed with some isonychias. The caddis are still around but it’s been hit or miss seeing them on the water. The tiny olives have been our best producer. If you find fish on caddis they are most likely on the small tan ones rather than the October caddis. There are still some heptagenia around and we found some spinners on the water the other day so keep an eye out fro those. The release from Cannonsville has been bumped up slightly and the flow at Stilesville is 942 cfs.
There is some color in the West Branch from the release. The higher the release the more color will be in the river. It happens every Fall when the reservoir begins to turn over.
