The release from Cannonsville was pulsed for a short period overnight. The flow is already dropping this morning. These pulses are being done to keep the Lordville temperature from exceeding 75 degrees while conserving water. A steady release splitting the difference seems like a better idea. The current release from Cannonsville is probably 540 cfs. The recording says 699 cfs but that is incorrect. Until we get a steady higher release or a weather cool down the best dry fly fishing during the day will continue to be above Hale Eddy. The lower West Branch should have some dry fly action early before the sun hits the water and again in the evening when the sun drops behind the hills. Nymphing is your best bet lower during the day. Today will be 84 degrees with no wind. There will be a mix of clouds and sun.
The lower Beaverkill, lower East Branch, and Mainstem temperatures all peaked over 70 degrees yesterday.
A quick pulse overnight but the flow is already dropping
