We’ve had a few brief showers but the rivers are essentially in the same shape as yesterday. The West Branch is in the best shape with a release of 600 cfs this morning. The cold release is keeping the water temperatures low throughout it’s length. We are still fishing the same mix of small olives, sulphus, cahills, and isonychias. There are some caddis around but they seem over shadowed by the little olives. Nymphing and swinging wet flies have been productive during the day. Dry fly fishing has been better during cloud cover, in shaded areas, and before or after the sun hits the water. We should have some clouds around today with the possibility of very light rain mid day. We’ll be a bit cooler with air temperatures in the 70’s. The lower East Branch, lower Beaverkill, and Mainstem are all warm so definitely check those with your thermometer before fishing.
