For the third day in a row we’re getting a pulse of cold water on both rivers. Wunderground is calling for a chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon which could bring a much needed break in the hot weather. Even so, look for fish in the colder water close to the dams. We had reports of good hatches of olives mid-day and the sulphurs continue to hatch in the evening. Keep your eye out for the occasional large Cahill.
The East Branch at Fishs Eddy, the Beaverkill at Cooks Falls, and the Mainstem at Lordville all peaked over 70 degrees yesterday. Give these sections a break until we get cooler temps.
What’s Hatching:
Slate Drake – 12-2xl – 12- Isonychia bicolor
Sulphur – #16 – 20 – E. dorothea
Light Cahill – #14 – E. vitreus (male), E. invaria, Stenacron spp.
