Today is the 6th Annual Get Trashed in the Catskills River Cleanup. If you’re in the area and want to participate let us know. The cleanup kicks off around 10 am here at the flyshop. We had a great turnout at last night’s Iron Fly to kick off the weekend.
The release from Cannonsville is steady at 650 cfs for the second day in a row. The little extra water is nice and is still great for both floating and wading. Small sulphurs, olives, and cahills are still making up the bulk of the bugs on the upper river sections. We’re coming off another 50 degree night so it’s a comfortable morning and the water temps have dropped a bit. Today will be sunny and 76 degrees. The wind will be a bit less than yesterday at 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.
