Tyrone, Pa. Posts: 5	The "j" will be down to 1,000 CFS by Saturday noon, March 20th. There are only a few large pools that can be fished at this level even though the water clarity is already fair to good. I have seen flies (sulfers) hatch at over 900 CFS and fish feed on them, but this is unusual. Right now I am only seeing a few black stone flies and a few olives. Water temps are also still quite low. It was 38.3 degrees yesterday morning at 8am and rose to 45.9 degrees by 5 pm. I start looking for grannom caddis when temps reach 50 degrees by their mid-morning emergence time. This usually happens between the 12th and 16th of April although in 2005 I witnessed the first fishable grannoms on April 10th, the earliest date since I started keeping records in 1980. When the Redbuds bloom so do the grannoms! Bill Anderson
