A little rain must have hit the Beaverkill and caused a very minor bump in flow but otherwise most of the weather missed us again. The release from Cannonsville is steady around 625 cfs. Today’s weather looks a lot like yesterday’s with the air temp hitting the high 80’s, a mix of sun and clouds, and a slight possibility of an afternoon storm. Wind will be 45 – 10 mph from the North. The best daytime dry fly action will be closest to the dams in the coldest water. People are finding some rising fish fish lower down in the mornings and evenings.
The lower Beaverkill, lower East Branch, and Mainstem temperatures are all starting off at 70 degrees today. Give those rivers a break until they cool down.
