The release from Cannonsville was increased to just under 700 cfs yesterday and is probably being dropped back to 625 today. We’re in for a hot one with the air temp hitting the high 80’s with a mix of sun and clouds. There is only a 10% chance of any precipitation. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the North. The best chance of dry fly action during the day is still in the coldest water closest to the dams. Last night there were some small olives and sulphurs coming off on the lower West after the sun dropped. It’s going to be a warm week but we do have a better chance of rain Tuesday and Wednesday.
The lower Beaverkill, lower East Branch, and Mainstem temperatures are all starting off at 70 degrees today. Give those rivers a break until they cool down.
We got a little extra cold water last night
