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.
It’s going to be warm again but we should have some cloud cover and possible thunderstorms today. The amount of rainfall should be less than 1/10″ and the wind will be light. We may have some wind gusts to deal with if the storms hit us but that should be brief as they push through fast. The release from Cannonsville was increased to 740 cfs yesterday but has been dropped to 625 ish (we guess). The recording says 699 cfs but the flow at Stilesville as 637 this morning. Daytime dry fly action is still best closest to the dam but we should see olives and sulphurs on the lower West in the evening. Hopefully the colder water from the release and good cloud cover pushes those bugs earlier in the day.
