Pictured: Ansonia Bridge looking east 10/15 6:30 PM

Water Conditions- Clear/Green. Low

Cedar Run USGS Gauge- 5:15 PM - 1.32ft

Water Temp - mid 50's to mid 60's

Hatches- Hoppers, Ants, beetles, midges, tan caddis, October caddis, cream cahill, cream craneflies

What's Working?

Grasshopper patterns trailing an October caddis nymph worked well this week. Olive wooly buggers and small sculpin streamers also worked well

Other notes-

The Keystone select stretch was restocked this week. Anglers have done particularly well around Darling Run catching mostly rainbows. Roughly 800 fish were stocked throughout the stretch. A few anglers have been fishing upstream near Rexford and Gaines with moderate success catching holdover browns, and a couple rainbows. Look for deeper holding water.

Roughly an inch of rain is expected tomorrow along with a sharp drop in temps this weekend. Expect to deal with falling leaves in the water most for the next few weeks.
