Take today off from fishing. The Lordville gage is showing 69 degrees already this morning. We believe that the Lordville gage registers cooler than the actual river temperature so the Mainstem is a little over 70 degrees already. It looks likes the potential for rain has been decreasing and we are only looking at around a 1/10th of an inch this afternoon with air temperatures in the 80’s. A little more rain should fall overnight but much of it will be soaked up by the ground and vegetation that is leafing out. The air temps will remain warm tonight but will begin to drop on Tuesday night offering a little relief. We are watching the system closely and making decisions day by day.
We are not going to fish or take anyone fishing today. Like yesterday we suggest everyone take today off to give the fish a break. Hopefully mother nature provides us some relief over the next few days.
The West Branch at Hale Eddy peaked at 67 degrees yesterday. The lower West Branch, East Branch, and Mainstem all peaked over 70 degrees. Callicoon peaked over 75 degrees.
The West Branch in Hancock peaked over 70 degrees yesterday and is starting at 65 degrees this morning.
