We’ve had a bit of rain this morning but it looks like most of it has soaked into the ground. The creeks are clear, the Beaverkill and East Branch have actually dropped a bit, and the West Branch is steady with just over 600 at Hale Eddy. It definitely looks like an olive day with the overcast sky and light intermittent rain. We may see a little over 1/4″ today but most of the storms have been tracking north of us lately. We should also see a few more sulphurs and isonychias hatching during the day if the weather holds. Winds look great today peaking around 8 mph. It looks like it will be a really good day to be on the river. West Branch water temperatures look great. The lower East Branch, lower Beaverkill, and lower Mainstem are all peaking a little high to fish for trout so check them with a thermometer before you start. Water temperatures in Callicoon look great for smallmouth if you’re looking for something different to do.
