Most of the storms missed us so the river levels are very similar to yesterday. We’ve had a little light rain overnight and this morning but even the Beaverkill only bumped a few cfs. The cloud cover kept the temperatures in check so most rivers are starting off the same or a degree or two cooler than yesterday. We may see a stray shower or two today but the precipitation amounts will be negligible. Hopefully the forecast is correct and we have clouds for most of the day. Nymphing / swinging wets has still been the best bet during the day followed by blind casting isonychias and cahills in the riffles. We are still fishing the same mix of caddis, sulphurs, olives, cahills, and isonychias. The cloud cover should help the dry fly fishing today hopefully giving us a little mid day action. Early morning and evening have been the best on the bright sunny days.
