We were hit with more rain than expected and the river flows are up and there is color coming in from the feeder streams. The flows have peaked and are dropping this morning. Oquaga Creek hit 629 cfs yesterday afternoon and is down to 214 cfs this morning. The flow at Hale Eddy is down to 804 cfs but the West Branch is getting a lot water below that from the creeks. If you’re wading the best bet will be above the creeks in Stilesville. The flow didn’t bump there and should be clear at 274 cfs. Floating is fine. Streamer fishing should be good. The dry fly fishing is going to be tough today with the wind. Luckily we clear up tomorrow with 72 degrees, sunshine, and light wind.
Today will be 57 degrees with light rain in the morning. Wind will be 15 – 25 mph from the North with higher gusts possible.
