The aqueduct work has been pushed off again. It is now scheduled for Fall of 2024.
The cool weather has helped dropped the water temps on most of the rivers. The day time hatching will still be best in the coldest water near the dams but the cooler water should improve the hatching on the other sections. While it’s mostly been small sulphurs and olives keep on the look out for ants and other terrestrials. Blind casting Isonychias and light cahills should also work better with the cooler water.
The Beaverkill at Cooks Falls, East Branch at Fishs Eddy, and Mainstem at Lordville temperatures have dropped a bit with the colder air temps. Please check them with thermometer before fishing.
Today will be 76 degrees with light and variable wind. Partly cloudy
