The rivers look good this morning. We did have some rain overnight but either we received less than predicted or the ground and vegetation absorbed most of it. All the rivers around Hancock are running clear. There is a slight bump in flows on the Beaverkill but so far it’s negligible. The West Branch and the Mainstem are both still dropping as the runoff and spill subsides. Streamers are still catching fish and the hatches are getting better each day. Hendricksons, blue quills, and black caddis are definite must haves right now. The weather looks great today with overcast skies and winds gusting to 5 mph. Looking at the week long forecast we should see really good fishing through the weekend.
Slowly dropping back to normal. Hopefully we will be wading soon
