The thunderstorms never materialized yesterday afternoon so the river flows are starting off about the same as yesterday. we’ll be a bit warmer today in the high 80’s but that should bring a better chance of storms today. It looks like we may get just under 1/4″ if they don’t track south of us. Wind will be 10 – 15 from the South. The best dry fly action was as the sun dropped but people did catch fish mid day in the sun too. Sulphurs, olives, cahills, and some isonychias will cover the mayflies. We cool back down into the 60’s tomorrow. The 10 day forecast shows some decent rain towards the weekend.
The Lower East Branch, Mainstem, and Beaverkill at Cooks Falls all peaked over or just under 70 degrees yesterday. It’s time to give those rivers a break and fish cold water areas.
