Today will be in the low 80’s with a mix of clouds and sunshine.  Wind 5 – 10 mph from the South.  Perfect for picking up trash.  If you’re fishing concentrate close to the dams in the coldest water.

The lower Beaverkill, lower East Branch, and Mainstem temperatures are all peaking over 70 degrees.  Give those rivers a break until they cool down.
