The West Branch has dropped back after the rain and is flowing at 543 cfs thsi morning. The clarity looks decent and you can see rocks on the bottom of the river as you cross the 191 Bridge. The lower East Branch is dirty but should begin to clear as the Beaverkill water filters through. Same for the Mainstem. It looks like it could be a decent streamer day followed by the afternoon olives in the slower pools. The great news is the West Branch at Walton flowing into Cannonsville is over 800 cfs this morning. It’s going to feel cool out there with air temperatures peaking around 59 degrees. We may have some unpleasant wind gusts from the North. If that happens look for risers in the wind protected areas. It shouldn’t matter if you are streamer fishing.
