The rain started before 6 am this morning. The forecast is calling for close to 1″ over the course of the day. Keep an eye on the latest flows by clicking on the gauge links below. 1″ will bring the rivers up and may add some color by the afternoon. Cannonsville and Pepacton are both still spilling. If the rain hits above the reservoirs there will be a slight delay and then the spills will increase. Wading the main rivers is not an option so it’s another day of sticking to the Willowemoc or headwater streams. Watch for higher flows on those streams by this afternoon too. Streamers will be your best bet today. People have been finding sporadic rising fish but dry fly fishing has been a long shot so far. The air temp will hit 47 degrees with wind 10 – 20 from the South.
