The rivers came through yesterday’s storms just fine. Most of the storms were brief with heavy rain that soaked right into the ground. The flows bumped up a little on some sections but overall it’s pretty significant. Conditions are pretty much where they were yesterday morning. The rain did push some bugs. Blue wing olives and some caddis were out during the lighter rain offering some decent dry fly shots. Today we’re back to sunshine with some afternoon clouds. The air temp will be much cooler peaking at 70 degrees. Wind will be 10 – 15 from the North.
The Mainstem at Lordville and the Beaverkill at Cooks Falls both peaked over 70 degrees yesterday. Despite the cooler air temps it’s time to give the warm river sections a break until they cool back down.
