The air was filled with Tricos mid morning yesterday. We were off before they hit the water but hopefully they did and someone was there. Olives came later in the evening but the fish seemed to be sporadic and in an eat and move in the slow tailouts mood. There were good Heptagenias mixed in for a bit plus a few isonychias. If you were patient the fish would come back around. Nymphing was the best option during the day. Once the sun hit the water it felt like Summer again.
We’re in the low 40’s gain this morning but it will warm up to the 70’s. We’ll have sunshine and wind 5 – 6 mph from the North. The release from Cannonsville has been dropped slightly to 656 cfs.
