We had a little rain in the evening and overnight so the West Branch at Hale Eddy is 885 cfs this morning. The flow is already dropping and it is clear enough to fish. There was no bump in flow in Stilesville so the river above Oquaga is around 500 cfs and clear. The is still a lot of runoff coming from the Beaverkill and East Branch but those river flows are dropping too. We shouldn’t see any appreciable rainfall today. 78 degrees, clouds with a little sunshine, and wind 5 – 10 from the North. There has been daytime hatching on the upper river. The intensity has varied a bit day to day and spot to spot. The cloud cover could push some hatches earlier on the mid to lower West. Hopefully we don’t get too much sun.
