No real changes from yesterday. The thunderstorms either never materialized or totally missed us although we did get a little cloud cover in the early evening. The flow at Hale Eddy has leveled out at 756 cfs. The additional release appears to be to meet the downstream flow target. Water temperatures remain fine on the West Branch and the hatching remains the same. Small olives, flushes of sulphurs, a few cahills, and the odd isonychia will cover you for most of the river. We are seeing some tricos spinners in the morning on the larger pools and the flying ants remain a possibility everyday while we have the warm, humid weather. Both the lower East Branch at Fishs Eddy and the Mainstem at Lordville peaked over 70 degrees yesterday.
Today we are looking at sunshine with air temperatures around 80 degrees. Wind gusts should only be 5 mph out of the Southeast.
