We woke up to a steady light rain this morning. Wunderground has increased the rainfall forecast to just over 1/2″ today. We will likely see the flows go up with runoff and maybe some color in the rivers by the afternoon. Cannonsville and Pepacton are both still spilling. If you’re wading it’s another day of sticking to the Willowemoc or headwater streams. Yesterday fished well with streamers in the afternoon. There were some sporadic risers in the long slow pools but they were tough to target. They’re still not consistent. The sunshine and rising water temps definitely helped. Today will be 55 degrees with rain, clouds, and wind 10 mph from the East. We have more rain in the forecast tomorrow so keep an eye on the radar and river flows.
