Yesterday felt like early September and we are coming off a really warm night. The water temperatures are up from yesterday morning and that should help the hatching. There were some olives and a few isonychias out yesterday but streamers and nymphs were definitely more productive. The Cannonsville release is 574 this morning. The West Branch, lower East Branch, and Mainstem are all in decent shape for floating and wading. We may get a light shower or two today with wind gusts staying under 10 mph. Not a bad looking fishing day for the end of October.
Hatching:
Slate Drake – #12 – 14- Isonychia bicolor
Olive Sulphur – #18 – 20– Heptagenia hebe
Tiny Blue Winged Olive – #22 – 26 – Psuedocloeon spp.
