It’s going to be much cooler today with a high air temp of 74 degrees. We’ll see some clouds and sun with wind 5 – 10 from the North. Tonight the air temp will drop back in to the 50’s. That seems to the be weather we’re looking at for most of next week too. There are still some sulphurs on the upper West but that is becoming a bit more sporadic. Olives are going well with a few isonychias. We are seeing more caddis in the last week or so- especially in the evenings. Nymphing has worked well lately. We’ve seen a lot of fish eating just under the surface so swinging unweighted wets could be a good technique to try.
John Papciak with the release
Water temps are hot on the Beaverkill at Cooks Falls, the East Branch at Fishs Eddy, and the Mainstem at Lordville. Give the fish a break in those areas and fish colder water.
