Today looks like a good day to be on the water. The sun is out now but we should have some clouds rolling in the afternoon. The air temperature will be around 60 degrees. All of the flows dropped a little throughout the system. Pepacton Reservoir is down to 100.1% capacity. The Beaverkill, lower East Branch and Mainstem have the best temperatures to start off the day between 44 and 45 degrees. That’s the best we’ve seen this season. If the sun sticks around long enough those should shoot up to good levels today. There are decent numbers of little black caddis and some blue quills around but streamers and nymphs will be most effective until the water warms up. We should see some rain tonight and tomorrow but the amount in the forecast has been decreasing. Hopefully most of it will shift away from us.
Bob handed over the new boat to Chris to row George and Ebby for a bit
