There was a small overnight pulse from Cannonsville that brought the flow up to 600 cfs at Stilesville. The flow is already dropping back to normal. Small sulphurs, olives, and cahills are making up the bulk of the bugs on the upper river sections. We are still seeing some mid day dry fly action in the coldest river sections. The lower West has fished best at low light in the morning and evening with olives and cahills. Today will be sunny with a few clouds, 80 degrees, and wind 5 – 10 mph from the North.
The East Branch at Fishs Eddy, the Beaverkill at Cooks Falls, and the Mainstem at Lordville all peaked over 70 degrees yesterday. Give these sections a break until we get cooler temps.
