The release from Cannonsville has been increased to 650 cfs. It’s still a good level for wading and floating. Today is the day we break from the constant sunshine. Couds should roll in around noon with scattered thunderstorms for the rest of the day. Total rainfall is .3″ so the rivers should be fine. The wind will peak around 9 mph from the South and drop in the afternoon. The clouds and rain make it look like a great day to be on the water. Yesterday was another bright, sunny day so we’re looking forward to the change in the weather. Sulphurs, isonychias, and definitely olives should be in your box today. We’ve seen a few Potamanthus out there too so add a few of those.
The 3rd annual Get Trashed August 17th. Come out and do some good for the Delaware
Water temps are hot on the Beaverkill at Cooks Falls, the East Branch at Fishs Eddy, and the Mainstem at Lordville. Give the fish a break in those areas and fish colder water.
