We had light rain and clouds for most of the day yesterday. The rivers look good this morning abut are slightly higher. The Beaverkill flow is under 1,000 cfs and along with the Willowemoc offers the best wade opportunity. The West Branch is still off color from the release but we are catching fish up here. Streamers to start with but there is a chance of dry fly action in the evening. The Mainstem is in great shape and has had most of the hatching. We are coming off a night in the low 30’s so it will take a bit for everything to warm up today. We should see 50 degrees and sunshine by the afternoon.
Hatching:
Light Cahill – #14 – 16 – Steno spp.
Isonychia – #12-2xl – 12 – Isonychia bicolor
Olive Sulphur – #18 -20 – Heptagenia hebe
