The release from Cannonsville is 801 cfs. The extra water is a pulse to keep the Mainstem at Lordville from exceeding 75 degrees in today’s heat. The will likely drop it back down to normal at some point so check the Stilvesille gauge link below for the most up to date information. It’s going to be hot and sunny today so stick to the Upper West or Upper East for the best shot at dry fly fishing. The daytime sulphurs and olives have been hatching in enough numbers to get some fish looking up. Find spots that get shade earlier in the day and be patient. The lower West is a better option for nymphing or swinging wets. The algae up top has made fishing underneath tough. Typical late July conditions.
The Beaverkill, Lower East Branch, and Mainstem water temps are still peaking in the mid to high 70’s. It’s time to give these rivers a break until they cool back down.
Today will be 92 degrees and sunny. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the North.
