The daytime wind made yesterday tough. Early it was definitely a nymphing / wet fly kind of day. A few people were throwing streamers. The wind dropped around 6 and there was a decent hatch of olives offering some shots at dry fly fish. The hatch ended a bit earlier than usual as the air temp dropped towards dark. The wind will be kinder today at 5 – 10 mph from the South. 74 degrees with mostly sunshine. The release from Cannonsville has been increased and the flow at Stilesville is just under 1,000 cfs as of the 4:15 am update. Check the gauge links below for the latest flows.
