The thunderstorms in yesterday’s forecast missed us. The rivers are still dropping this morning and everything is clear. We’re still fishing sulphurs and olives on the upper river sections with cahills and a few isonycias mixed in- heavier on the cahills. There have been some golden drakes around but the majority of the fishing is on smaller flies. There are Tricos around but spinners have been more productive in the morning. Water temperatures remain good on the West Branch and Upper East Branch. The lower East, lower Beaverkill, and Mainstem have all warmed up again after the last few days. We may see some afternoon thunderstorms today but we’ll see. A lot of them have been sliding either north or south of us.
