We had some rain in the evening but it soaked into the ground and the river flows are basically where they were yesterday morning. Today will be mostly cl0udy with a high of 81 degrees. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the South. According to Wunderground there is a 30% chance of some thunderstorms developing in the afternoon. Most of those tend to slide South of us so we’ll see. The forecasted rainfall is negligible. We are still mainly fishing sulphurs, olives, and cahills but the isonychias seem to be picking up. Blind casting in the riffles worked yesterday.
The Lower East Branch, Mainstem, and Beaverkill at Cooks Falls all peaked over or just under 70 degrees yesterday. They are starting off warmer today and will peak higher due to the sunshine. It’s time to give those rivers a break and fish cold water areas.
