We had a bit of of a surprise last night in the form of some serious rain. The only downer for us was the fact that the East / Beaverkill system got the majority of the rain fall, as is evident from the graphs (click the links below if you’d like to see), and this will certainly bring up the Main Stem even further, as well as heat up the main for the next few days, as we are still only getting a 320 cfs release. Basically, kiss anything below Shehawken goodbye for a few days. Prior to the rain, we did see some good evening fishing upstream with our usual suspects showing up – Isos, smaller sulphurs as well as a handful of decent sized olives coming out as well. Today we’ve got everything expected on the weather front, so be ready for anything out there!
