We’re coming off a very cold night so the river temps dropped significantly. Everything is starting off in good shape this morning. The Main, Beaverkill, and lower East all look good for a change. Yesterday was damp, chilly, and a little windy – perfect for olives. People reported good numbers of olives mixed with some sulphurs and Isonychias. There were a Pseudos on the water but the fish were happy with larger olives and the Isonychias. Today looks warmer with a bit more sunshine. We should hit 71 degrees. Wind will be 5 – 10 from the North.
