Yesterday was as beautiful as advertised. Sunshine with a few clouds. The sunshine helped the water temperatures and most rivers are starting off warmer today. Blue Quills, Quill Gordons, Black Caddis, and some Hendricksons are out there. People are nymphing, throwing streamers, and fishing for risers at this point. Things are just getting started and should get really good as the water temps continue to climb. The air temperature will be pushing 80 degrees today with sunshine. The water temps on the Beaverkill, lower East Branch, lower West Branch, and Mainstem should jump by mid afternoon. We may have some clouds roll in by late evening. Winds will be from the South.
