It’s going to be a beautiful day with a high in the mid 60’s. The Beaverkill flow is up a bit bringing the lower East Branch with it. The West has dropped a bit with a release of 1,499 cfs and the spill dropping to 7 cfs. Yesterday’s sunshine made the stoneflies more active with a lot of them buzzing around the river in mid-afternoon. Caddis and olives were mixed in after lunch too. The higher flows on the West Branch and lower East Branch are still best for streamers and nymphs. If you’re looking for rising fish check out the longer, slower pools and be patient. Very patient. The Upper East is still running low and is in good shape for nymphing.
Hatching:
Blue Wing Olives #16 – 18 – Baetis vagans
Little Black Caddis #18 – 20 – Chimarra sp.
Early Black Stoneflies #14 – 16 – Taeniopteryx sp.
