After basically meeting minimum flow requirements at Montague for two days and then substantially exceeding them for the next five days the River Master has allowed NYC to reduce the release from Cannonsville to 357 CFS. It takes about 40 hours for the Cannonsville release water to reach Montague so it would appear that the River Master is counting on the predicted rain to make up the shortfall.
If the nights remain warm and we get sunshine the rivers will all be too warm for good bugs. If we get substantial rain it could help redistribute fish in all of the rivers. If it stays cloudy and the flows are increased it could be good fishing. Basically there is no way to know. A-119 will probably be back down to the "Lordville Estate" on Monday and will try to sort things out.
If the family has something planned for the weekend go and enjoy - you probably won't be missing much. Any one who can supply on site information - feel free to jump in.
I fished tonight above the bridge in deposit. I had a good night. Landed 6 fish in the net and had 5 refusals. There were rising fish all over. The largest was a 21 in brown !!
They were on olive emergers and duns It was the best night by far I’ve had in a week to 10 days.
Good luck to all
