We had some violent storms pass through the area last night and some frightening weather warnings but the West Branch came through just fine. Stilesville is still running a steady 598 cfs and Hale Eddy is 687 cfs. The West Branch is clear enough to fish this morning with just a touch of color that may actually help the fishing by making the fish feel a little safer. We are at decent levels for floating and wading and the mid to lower WB should drop slightly throughout the day. The temperature under the Hancock Bridge is a cool 59 degrees this morning. It looks like the Beaverkill and lower East Branch were affected the most by the storms and both rivers are still rising this morning.
A small bump last night and we’re already dropping back to normal
