We woke up to some light rain this morning but not heavy enough to affect the flows. It’s been so dry most of it will soak right into the ground. The release from Cannonsville has been cut back again and the flow at Stilesville is 353 cfs this morning. We’ll hit 75 degrees today with cloud cover and a brief rain shower. Wind will be 7 – 10 mph from the South. Caddis are still all over the bushes so hopefully they’ll come out and hit the water this afternoon. We should see olives, heptagenia, and isonychias today too. Yesterday should have been a good day based on the flows and weather but everyone seemed to struggle. Hopefully today will be much better.
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.
