The flows have dropped nicely over the last few days and things are looking good this morning. The Beaverkill is in great shape for wading and the East Branch is looking better each day. The West Branch is still running high but it is mostly release at this point. That’s great news for the water temperatures on the West Branch and Upper Mainstem while we deal with the hot air temperatures and sunshine. Coffin flies have been giving us some decent fishing in the evening mixed with the sulphurs and cahills. The sunshine should make the caddis a bit more active and we may see some of the Cornutas offering some mid morning action.
