We saw decent olives on the water by mid afternoon yesterday. There were fish rising on both the Mainstem and the West Branch for a few hours. The rain didn’t come until after dark and has pretty much ended now. Caddis were also out flying around with a few ending up on the water. The wind was a bit of an issue at times but the fish ate between gusts. We should have cloud cover for most of the morning with some sun breaking through in the afternoon. Air temperatures should hit the mid 50’s with wind gusts staying below 10 mph. The release from Cannonsville Reservoir has been raised slightly to 874 cfs.
