We woke up to a little snow falling this morning. It is only April 3rd. We should see about .25″ and then rain in the afternoon. The high will be 41 degrees so it shouldn’t last long on the ground. Wind will be 10 mph from the South. It definitely looks like another streamer day. Both Cannonsville and Pepacton Reservoirs are still spilling. The Beaverkill is just under 1,500 cfs and dropping. Wading the main rivers at these levels is not possible. If you’re wading stick to the smaller streams and headwaters again. Floating is fine. Yesterday fished well with streamers. We’ve been starting with dark colored streamers and switching to light if we don’t see any action after a couple of pools. Look for the warmer water temps in the warmest part of the afternoon to find the most active fish. The 10 day forecast shows some rain during the week but no more snow.
