We got another slightly larger pulse from Cannonsville last night but the flow levels have already dropped back. The hatches have been best in the cold water near the dam mid-day with small sulphurs and cahills. Or wait until the sun drops a little lower on the West Branch and bring your olives. There are a few caddis around so that might be worth a shot on picky fish. Today will be a copy of yesterday’s weather with a chance of storms in the afternoon.
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.
