They pulsed from Cannonsville around midnight and the flow at Stilesville is 722 cfs and falling. We’ll settle back into the500 cfs range. So the West Branch is in decent shape for wading and floating and the level will be dropping slowly this morning. We had some rain last night but it wasn’t enough to bump the flows. It did push small olives and most people found rising fish. It was still #18 and #22 olives for the most part although there were a few cahill / stenacrons and Isonychias on the water. Today will be sunnier hitting 82 degrees. 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.
