We finally had a little rain yesterday afternoon. It wasn’t enough to bump the water flows but it was enough to make you wish you had a raincoat. But every drop that soaks into the ground helps. So the West Branch remains at the same flow as yesterday – 1,170 cfs at Hale Eddy. That still offers wade opportunities in some spots. Over the last couple of days most of our fish have come on either #18 or #22 blue wing olives. There are also still a few sulphurs and cahills around. Some people are reporting decent Isonychias on some stretches. Today will much 75 degrees and cloudy with a very slight chance of a shower. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the North.
The East Branch at Fishs Eddy and the Beaverkill at Cooks Falls both peaked over 70 degrees yesterday. Give these sections a break until we get cooler temps.
