It’s cool outside this morning the the air temp will rise to the high 70’s this afternoon. Partly cloudy skies with wind 5 – 10 mph from the South. Sounds pretty much like yesterday. We may see some rain Sunday but it’s iffy at this point. Small olives are still the mainstay but we are seeing some cahills and isonychias. Caddis are out there and we should see more them as we move into Fall. Nymphing is still your best bet during the day but there have been fish rising here and there so keep an eye out. Sunny days have fished best for dries after the sun drops behind the hills.
Yesterday the Beaverkill at Cooks Falls peaked over 70 degrees and the East Branch at Fishs Eddy peaked at 69 degrees. Give those areas a break and concentrate on the cold water.
