The flow at Stilesville is 1,380 cfs and dropping slowly this morning. We had a little rain overnight but only enough to wet the ground. We may see another shower this morning but it will be a non event for the flows. Wading is still not recommended on the tailwaters but it is getting better. The Beaverkill and Willowemoc are at good levels for that. We should keep the clouds for most of the day. Yesterday people had another mix of success between streamers, nymphs, and dry flies. The bright sun made it tougher but fish were landed. Day time dry fly fishing is better closer to the dam while the lower river sections turn on in the evening. Sulphurs, olives, and Isonychias. Have a few cahills too. Normal July fishing.
Jake found some happy fish yesterday
Marc with a brown yesterday. And one hell of a hat!
