It was a warm night so there is some fog on the river this morning. Today we have an 80% chance of some thunderstorms. We’ll see since most of them have track South of us lately. If we do get hit the total precip should be less than 1/4″ which will soak right into the ground. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the South. The cloud cover is a nice bonus for the day though. Olives and sulphurs should cover most of what you’ll see out there. Isonychias and cahills are also good choices for the riffles. Nymphing and swinging wets on the lower West will be good bets early. The sulphurs are hatching in Deposit in the afternoon. Keep your flies small and low floating.
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.
