The Beaverkill flow has dropped to 1,000 cfs this morning which should open up some wading opportunities there and on the Willowoemoc. The rest of the system is clear and dropping but is best fished from a boat. There has been some dry fly activity over the last few days with the normal mix of sulphurs, cahills, green drakes, and caddis. Streamers are working but will be better during cloud covered periods or low light conditions. We are coming into a heat wave and air temperatures will feel more like June over the next few days. We may see a passing shower or two but the precipitation totals should be low. This weekend should fish well as the water continues to drop.
