The river flows continue to drop but remain high with spill and runoff. The Willowemoc should have some wade opportunities and the Beaverkill is getting close. The tailwaters are running high but are safe for floating. We’re seeing bugs but the flows are not ideal for dry fly fishing. The West Branch and Mainstem have big numbers of alewives from the spill. Hopefully the river levels continue to drop over the next few days. Today will be a warm 65 degrees with about 1/4″ of rain. Wind 10 – 15 mph from the North.
