It looks like we’re finally going to get a break from the sun today. We should see some storms come through around lunch time. The clouds are coming in now and it looks like a good morning to fish. The levels are fine on all the rivers this morning. Sulphurs, isonychias, cahills, and caddis are still making up the bulk of our fishing. We have seen some decent blue winged olives in the mix early and late in the day. Nymphing or swinging wets has been the best day time technique but people are doing well blind fishing dries in the riffles before the hatches start. The rain may give us some decent midday fishing on lives and isos. Some sections are still seeing the odd gray fox and march browns hatching. Precipitation forecasts are all over the place so right now it’s just a guess. A lot of it should soak into the ground in the beginning. It looks like the storms clear out tomorrow midday and we will be left with clouds. We hope they’re right on that one. Water temperatures have been climbing on the lower Beaverkill, lower East Branch, and lower Mainstem so use a thermometer before you fish those places. The release from Cannonsville remains at 401 cfs this morning.
