Everyone is talking about the huge amounts of caddis they saw on the rivers yesterday. Overall it sounded like a good fishing day. Today looks just as nice with the air temp hitting 68 degrees, sunshine, and wind 5 – 10 from the North. there is a shot of a stray shower or thunderstorm so bring the raincoat. The flows are dropping on the all the rivers. The East Branch and Beaverkill are in great shape for wading. The West Branch is coming down slowly but is 1,600 at Hale Eddy this morning. There are sections that are wadeable at this level.
