7:30 am update – We’ve had enough rain that the flows will come up from the runoff. Check the latest flow by clicking on the gauges at the bottom of the page
Watching the weather we all predicted yesterday would have been a great day. It was a tough one. We did see some more march browns and gray fox hatching on the West Branch so at least there’s that. We’ll just start over today. We have some rain coming down this morning but so far the flow at Hale Eddy had remained flat at just over 600 cfs. It will increase as the feeder stream flows come up so check the gauges below for the latest flow info. The Beaverkill flow has bumped up so the lower East should climb by the afternoon. We need the water to help the river temps on the East Branch and Mainstem. Hopefully the olives hatch and the bigger bugs keep coming. Bring a raincoat and check the latest flow info if you’re out there. We may see a thunderstorm or two roll through today. If there are dramatic changes to the flows we’ll do a mid day blog update.
Our lodging and fly shop are now open. Our fly shop will be limited to two customers at a time and masks are required. We will wipe down the shop before the next customers come inside. We are following CDC cleaning guidelines for both the rooms and the shop. We are still fulfilling mail orders in the online store: https://drc-fly-shop.myshopify.com
Curbside pickup is still a shipping option in the online store if you would rather not come inside.
