We had the wind to contend with yesterday but the hatches are progressing and we;re seeing a good mix of bugs out there. Olives, blue quills, Quill Gordons, and hendricksons are now on the water. Little black caddis and stoneflies are in the mix too. Today will be cooler with the air temp hitting 60 degrees. We’ll have cloud cover and a possible passing shower. Wind will be light and variable. It sounds like today will be th ebest wind day we’ve seen so far this season.
Both Cannonsville and Pepacton Reservoirs are still spilling. The East Branch, West Branch, and Mainstem are in fine shape for floating but are too high for safe wading. The flows are dropping. The Beaverkill flow dropped below 1,000 cfs so there are some wade opportunities there. Otherwise look to the Willowemoc and small headwater streams.
