Today is another nonstarter. The river flows are dropping but still not safe to wade. Depending on your comfort level behind the oars we are getting to safe floating levels on the East and West Branches. The Beaverkill has dropped significantly but is still too high to fish at over 2,000 cfs. The headwater streams should be in decent shape in the next day or so. There are good numbers of alewives coming over the top of Cannonsville. Today will be cooler hitting 42 degrees. Wind from the North 10 – 20 mph. We may see a stray snow shower but it shouldn’t stick to the ground.
