We’ve had rain on and off since 6 yesterday evening. Most of it has soaked into the ground and we have a small bump in flow at Hale Eddy but the river looks fine out front. The front also brought a well needed drop in the air temp and we are at 68 degrees this morning. We should see another 1/4″ of rain today. The wind is perfect at 3 – 5 mph. There’s a good chance the clouds and rain will push the hatches a bit and we may see olives, sulphurs, and a few cahills / Stenocrons a little earlier today. It definitely feels like an olive day. The Isonychia hatch is picking up and accounting for a lot of our fish this week
A ittle runoff coming from Oquaga Creek but it is already dropping
The Lower East Branch, Mainstem, and Beaverkill at Cooks Falls are all starting off over 70 degrees today. It’s time to give those rivers a break and fish cold water areas.
