The clarity continues to improve throughout the system but the West Branch still looks the best this morning. The rivers are still running high but the Beaverkill is dropping into manageable wade levels and bringing the East down a bit with it. The West Branch seems to be holding steady as the spill compensate for the falling feeder creeks. The wind was howling yesterday afternoon so streamers were definitely the best bet. We are still finding a decent number of bugs hatching and some fish eating in the big slow pools when the wind lays down. We have some rain coming in the next few days. The forecasted amount varies depending on which station you are listening to. Some of it looks like thunderstorms which are usually unpredictable around here. Bring a raincoat.
