The West Branch is clear enough to fish at 6 am. The flow at Hale Eddy is 828 cfs and dropping slowly. Stilesville stayed clear and was fishable all day yesterday. Most of the storms missed us and hit over in the Beaverkill / East Branch drainage. Those rivers are up quite a bit. Today looks like another day of clouds and scattered thunderstorms. Wunderground shows us getting .08″ today. If any of the storms hit us hard we’ll do another river update. If the major storms miss us we should be back to olives, isonychias, and some sulphurs. The weather may push the hatches earlier in the day on the lower West. The upper West has had the mid day sulphur hatches mixed with isonychias and a few cahills.
What’s Hatching:
Sulphur – #16 – 20 – E. dorothea
Light Cahill – #14 – E. invaria
Slate Drake – #12-2xl – 12 – Isonychia bicolor
Tiny Blue Wing Olive – #20 – 24 – Pseudocloeon sp.
Blue Wing Olives – #16 – 20 – D. deficiens, lata
Light Blue Wing Olives – #16 – 20 – E. cornutella, attenuata
