The West Branch release has been cut back slightly to 1007 cfs. Not much of a change overnight so pick your wade spots carefully. The water coming out of Cannonsville is now above 50 degrees. The release has some color to it and it is pushing some of the weeds and algae down river. A lot of that seems to filter out by Hale Eddy but check and clean your fly often even down in Hancock. Small olives and sulphurs are making up the bulk of the hatches with just a few isonychias and cahills thrown in for good measure. We are still hearing reports of tricos in the morning so keep a few with you if you are heading out early.
If Accuweather is correct we are looking at sunshine today with a high around 80 degrees. We may see a brief shower overnight with negligible precipitation.
