The river flows have dropped since yesterday morning but are still running a bit high. By mid afternoon yesterday the clarity had really improved and there were fish eating on top in places. Hendricksons, blue quills, and caddis were on the water. We also saw some hendrickson and blue quill spinners in the evening. The air temp will hit 68 degrees today with south wind 5 – 10 mph. We should see some clouds move in with a slight chance of rain. Rain accumulation should be negligible. It looks like we have a nice week coming up. The best wade opportunities are over on the Beaverkill and Willowemoc. The flows on the East and West should continue to drop slowly as the runoff in the feeder creeks subside. The release from Cannonsville is 1,499 cfs.
