The rivers have dropped slightly but remain to high to wade. Both Cannonsville and Pepacton are still spilling and the Beaverkill is high with runoff. Boating is fine. If you’re wading stick to the small headwater streams. There are some small black caddis mixed with the stoneflies. Your best bet for rising fish is the tailouts of the long slow pools. Nymphs and streamers are still a much better bet.
The wind was rough yesterday and the cooler air temp didn’t help. We had some breaks in the afternoon that were pleasant. Today will be much warmer hitting 60 degrees with some sunshine. We can’t escape the wind and we should see 0 – 20 mph from the South. It should drop in the late afternoon – hopefully before dark.
