The West Branch flow dropped slightly and the East Branch flow increased. Both Cannonsville and Pepacton Reservoirs are spilling. The Beaverkill flow increased quite a bit. There is a lot of water in the system. If you’re wading today stick to the small headwater streams. And be careful on those with the runoff. We’ll be colder today hitting 42 degrees with some sunshine poking through. The wind will stay with us again today at 10 – 20 mph from the North.
Yesterday ended up being a pleasant one. We had some breaks in the wind and the sun felt great. Nymphing was the most effective technique but we did find some fish willing to eat streamers. There were actually some fish rising in the late afternoon in the big long pools that had water slow enough the fish could set up. The wind made keeping the boat on anchor tough. But it was nice to see on April 1st.
