We had a good storm hit right around dinner time. Rain and wind. The flows are up slightly this morning but are already dropping back and the rivers seem to be in fine shape. Fishing was okayt up until the storm. There was a break in the evening just before dark that is was calm enough to fish again. The West is clear enough to fish this morning. We have olives and isonychias on the doors this morning. Sulphurs on the upper river. Today will be in the high 80’s with wind from the south 4 – 8 mph. Partly cloudy sky.

Water temps are hot on the Beaverkill at Cooks Falls, the East Branch at Fishs Eddy, and the Mainstem at Lordville. Give the fish a break in those areas and fish colder water.
