They did not pulse from Cannonsville last night so the flow at Stilesville is at the normal 500 cfs. Water temps are good on the West Branch and Upper East Branch. Small sulphurs, olives, and cahills are making up the bulk of the bugs on the upper river sections. We are still seeing some mid day dry fly action in the coldest river sections. The lower West has fished best at low light in the morning and evening with olives and cahills. There are some Isonychias and caddis around so definitely have a few of those in your box. We’ll have clouds this morning with a 50% chance of showers. Total rainfall will be a non factor at .03″. 80 degrees with wind 5 – 10 mph from the North.
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.
