We have some frost on the ground this morning but eventually we’ll hit 51 degrees with some sunshine. It will be another windy one at 10 – 20 mph from the South. We should see some snow tonight (around 5″ but the air temp is back up in the 40’s tomorrow. We are seeing decent hatches but the wind has limited the dry fly fishing. Streamers have been the best option. Some people are doing well nymphing too. The tailwater flows remain too high to wade but are falling. The best wade opportunities are the Beaverkill and Willowemoc.
