Overall it was a tough day on the river in the sun. We had fewer clouds than predicted. There were some sulphurs and isonychias hatching and some fish rising but it was a good day to nymph or swing wets. There were some olives mixed in during the evening. We’ll have similar weather today with the air temp reaching the low 80’s sunshine, and light winds. We’re coming off another cool night. They pushed up our next rain forecast to Sunday but less than 1/10th”. The cloud cover will be nice.
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.
