It's as close to a dead cert as it gets!

Given the seemingly steady release of 1,100 cfs from Cannonsville coupled with the 200 cfs flow from the EB one could assume that Wallenpaupack Reservoir has been drawn down as far as allowed during the summer (I'll try too check on this tomorrow), and that the Delaware system will be responsible for most all of the Montague minimum flow for the next couple of weeks.

What does that mean?  Right now the high flow of cold water is creating an olive bug bonanza that puts the sulfur hatch to shame.  

Where?  From what I can determine (keep in mind that I went to one place each day and never moved), there were olives at least from the Barking dog launch site all the way to junction pool. At 1,100 cfs the trick is to find a place where you can wade safely and make casts to the rising fish (think big pool tailouts for starters).

When?  There will be olives of all sizes on the water starting about 5:00, the fish are apparently enjoying their cocktail hour then because they don't show up in numbers until a little before six. But when they do they are up everywhere. Monday the two year olds started first and the big fish came to the table later, tonight they all seemed to all chow down together.

There are several sizes of olives hatching and late I found fish sipping spinners. When the fish first start feeding they will readily take a well presented fly. At the peak of the hatch both nights I went an extended period where I just couldn't get a fish to eat (or even look at my fly). The hatch thinned out around 8:00 both nights and you had to look for fish that were still hungry. If you found 'em they were happy to eat.

If the release is cut back or increased all bets are off. As always wade carefully 1,100 cfs is a lot of water.
