The release from Cannonsville has been cut back to 401 cfs. Water temperatures on the West Branch are still in good shape. We have cloud cover this morning with a chance of showers. Looking at the radar it seems most of the rain will slide north of us again. The forecasted amount of rain has been reduced and most of it should soak right into the ground. Most of the storms look like they will happen overnight into tomorrow morning so we should be fine. We are seeing the daytime sulphurs on the upper West with some olives mixed in. The lower West has some olives and is definitely better for nymphing due to the algae up top. Think small with most of your flies although there are some cahills and isonychias around. The lower East, lower Beaverkill, and Mainstem are all too warm for trout. Stick to the upper East or West Branch.
