We had a nice steady rain all day yesterday. We haven’t seen a good rain like that in quite a while. The rivers stayed in good shape all day. Water temperatures dropped back due to the cooler air temperatures, rain, and cloud cover. Some people did well on streamers and nymphs while others found fish eating olives and sulphurs. Things are looking good this morning. There are some white flies beginning to show on the lower sections. Today looks great. We will have a little more sun but there should be some clouds around. Winds will be 10 mph or less and we are keeping the cooler air temperatures with a high around 70. The water temperatures may come up on the Mainstem, lower East and lower Beaverkill but they look really good this morning. Overall we should keep the cooler temperatures through the weekend.
