The release from Cannonsville has been increased to 747 cfs this morning. Hale Eddy has leveled out at 828 cfs. Wading will be a little more difficult in the higher flow but is still possible if you pick your spots carefully. The bright sun has made fishing during the day tough so nymphing has been the best option until the olives hatch in the evening. If you are fishing the upper river you may see some daytime flushes of sulphurs and olives. If you run into a lot of the green weeds / slime floating down move down river. The lower East Branch at Fishs Eddy and the Mainstem at Lordville both peaked over 70 degrees yesterday. Accuweather is calling for air temps in the low 80’s, sun, and no wind.
