While it did seem to rain most of yesterday afternoon and overnight the flows look decent this morning. The West Branch is clear with barely a budge so far. The East Branch and Beaverkill are climbing but the lower East and Mainstem were clear at 6:30 this morning. We’ll have to wait and see what the feeders add to the system as the day goes on. Water temps look great this morning all the way down to Lordville with the system in the 50’s. We’re still fishing small olives, isonychias, and sulphurs. Hopefully the hatching is early today with the lower water temps, overcast skies, and light intermittent rain.
Accuweather is calling for air temps in the high 60’s today with just under a 1/4″ of rain from a number of light passing showers.
