We’re starting off with a good frost this morning with an air temp in the low 30’s. By mid afternoon we should have sunshine and an air temp of 57 degrees. Today looks like a good afternoon to hunt the mainstem for fish eating olives in the slow pools. Give it a chance to warm up. Streamers are still a good bet on the West Branch since it is still coming out of the dam off color. The Beaverkill / Willowemoc are in the best shape for wading.
Keep in mind the Upper West Branch from Cannonsville Dam to Monument is closed. The East Branch from Pepacton Dam to Shinopple Bride is also closed.
