We’re starting off this morning cool with good cloud cover and a chance of a shower. The sun may break through in the afternoon but anything is better than the full bright sun we’ve been dealing with a lot this June. The air temp will hit 74 degrees with light winds. Overall it sounds like a good day to be on the water. The bugs have been late on the sunny days so hopefully the cloud cover and potential light rain pushes them early today. If no blind casting cahills in the riffles has worked wel for some people. Otherwise nymphing or swinging wets is your best bet until the sulphur and cahills start hatching.
The lower East Branch, lower Beaverkill, and Mainstem will be too hot to fish today. The water temps peaked over 70 degrees yesterday. Please give these rivers a break and fish the cold water areas.
