The cooler air temperatures during the day and at night combined with the cloud cover kept the water temperatures lower than we’ve seen in a while at Fishs Eddy on the East Branch and down to Lordville on the Mainstem. The Mainstem at Lordville peaked at 64 degrees and the East Branch at Fishs Eddy peaked at 65. If the cool weather continues we may get those two rivers back sooner than anticipated. The West Branch remains pretty much the same as yesterday due to the consistent release of 500 cfs. Today should be mild with a high of 75 degrees dropping to 52 degrees tonight.
