River Report / Conditions – May 19, 2018

May 19, 2018, Author: Patrick Cook

 

Buckingham 7 a.m. May 19

The release from Cannonsville has been lowered to 600 cfs, which should open up more water for wading anglers.  Yesterday anglers saw a variety of bugs, depending on where they were.  The branches and Upper Main are still seeing Hendricksons, Blue Quills, BWO’s and Tan Caddis while the middle and Lower Main Stem are starting to get March Browns mixed in with caddis.  Most of the anglers we spoke with reported having targets from mid day on.  The forecast for today is calling for about 1/2″ of rain with winds out of the SE at 10-20 mph.

Hatching:

Tan caddis – #16-18

Blue Wing Olives – #18–24

Blue Quills – #16-18

Hendricksons #12-#14

March Brown #10-12
