The release from Cannonsville has been increased to 797 cfs this morning to help meet the Montague flow target. There is very little flow being added from the feeders so the West Branch shouldn’t end up much higher than the release. The increased flow has also increased the amount of weeds and algae floating in the upper section. It mostly filters out by mid river but you will still see some. Accuweather is calling for another sunny hot day today with air temperatures approaching 90. Winds should be light with gusts only around 6 mph. We are still fishing olives, small sulphurs, plus a few cahills and isonychias. The lower East Branch and upper Mainstem are still to hot to fish.
we’re still finding the odd steno / cahill around
