It looks like we’re out of the cold snap and will have great air temperatures this week, including a few days pushing 70 degrees. The river flows leveled out but remain high. Both Cannonsville and Pepacton are spilling. The sill should drop over the next few days barring any additional rain. The feeder stream flows are falling slowly. Floating is the option on the larger rivers. If you’re wading stick to the small feeder streams. The Beaverkill is flowing around 1,000 cfs at Cooks Falls so there will be some opportunities closer to Roscoe and on the Willowemoc. The warmer weather should push the bugs again giving us some dry fly fishing this week. The caddis, stoneflies, and blue wing olives should get active again.
Today will be 54 degrees with a mix of clouds and sun. Wind will be 10 – 15 mph from the North.
