The release from Cannonsville is 1,151 cfs until further notice- which could mean anything. Water temperatures are down a little this morning due to the cooler night and increased release hitting the lower West Branch and upper Mainstem. The weather looks pleasant for the rest of the week with sun, a few clouds, low winds, and a slight chance of rain on Saturday. We are still seeing small olives and cahills mixed with flying ants. There have been flushes of isonychias but they have been hard to predict. Streamers have been the best bet with the higher water and chalky color of the West Branch. Nymphing should be better on the upper Mainstem with the relatively lower water conditions.
