Yesterday was hot and sunny. The sulphurs still hatched in Deposit. When they get real picky keep downsizing your patterns and find something very low profile. Some of the pseudos can be #16 and #28. The fish do get on them. Small wet flies can work when they’re eating just under the surface. A shaded bank really helps too. Today is going to be a lot like yesterday hitting 85 degrees. We may have a few more clouds and chance of an afternoon thunderstorm. Winds 5 – 10 mph from the South.
The Esat Branch at Fishs Eddy, Beaverkill at Cooks Falls, and Mainstem at Lordville all peaked close to or over 70 degrees yesterday. They are starting off warmer this morning than yesterday. Time to give these rivers a break again.
