10:30 am update: The spill over Cannonsville has increased dramatically and will be too high for wading
The release from Cannonsville is 320 cfs with 212 cfs spilling over the top. That will bring the water temps up slightly in Stilesville. The rivers have dropped quite a bit since yesterday but the only real wade opportunity is above Oquaga Creek. Keep an eye on the Stilesville gauge to make sure the spill doesn’t increase much throughout the day. The lower East and West Branch still have quite a bit of color but are fishable. The lower Main is muddier than the upper river sections. Watch the radar this afternoon. Hopefully the storms slide around us. It’s likely a streamer / nymph day but we’ve seen dry fly fishing in higher water so be prepared just in case.
Today will be 66 degrees with clouds and possible afternoon thundersotrms. Total rainfall during the day may be .5″. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the South.
