The upper sections of the system have dropped back quickly after the rain. The West Branch is now 473 cfs at Hale Eddy. There is still a lot of water coming in from the tributaries so the river will be definitely be higher as you move downstream. Sections are definitely wadeable this morning and looking decent. It seems like the whole East Coast is in a cool down right now and we are looking at air temperatures reaching 50 today with some sun breaking through in the afternoon. Winds will be manageable with gusts going just above 10 mph. Streamers worked well yesterday in the higher off color water. Hopefully the olives come off today as the water drops more.
