The release from Cannonsville has been dropped back and the flow is 600 cfs at Hale Eddy. Today we’ll hit 75 degrees with clouds early changing to some afternoon sunshine. Wind will be 6 – 9 mph. Yesterday the release from Cannonsville bumped around a bit and the flow hit 711 cfs at Stilesville. That may have been a little bit to big a quick change but at least we had cloud cover for most of the day. We had some rain that could best be described as a heavy mist. There were some olives, heptagenia, and a few isonychias in the afternoon. It would have been better without the quick change in flow but people still found some fish on top. We should settle into a steady flow during the week.

There is some color in the West Branch from the release. The cloudiness will increase if they raise the release. It happens every Fall when the reservoir begins to turn over.
