The cooler weather has helped drop the water temperatures and we are looking pretty good this morning. The Cannonsville release was increased slightly to 1,114 cfs so basically no change from yesterday. Accuweather was incorrect and instead of cloud cover we had a decent amount of sun for most of the day. The hatching definitely improved from Saturday and we saw decent numbers of olives (#16 -26) in the evening. We saw a number of isonychia and cahill spinners right before dark. The isonychias went back to the trees but enough cahills hit the water to get the fish interested. Our cool weather should continue today with highs close to 70 with light winds from the east.
