The warming trend continues and today looks like an absolutely beautiful day to be on the water. Warm and no wind. Yesterday was tough early in the wind but once the wind dropped a bit and the sun popped out the bugs go more active. Little black caddis, stoneflies, olives, and some blue quills were on the water. The water temps bumped up yesterday and should again today. That will push the hatches. The big rivers are still too high to wade but are fine for floating. The Beaverkill dropped below 1,000 cfs so there are decent wade opportunities there and on the Willowemcoc.
Today will be 62 degrees with a mix of clouds and sun. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the West.
