Some people did well yesterday and other people struggled to find consistent rising fish. Blue quills, hendricksons, and a few different caddis species came off in the afternoon. Fish got on them in the slow water and edges. Some fish fed consistently while others were very sporadic. Luck and patience went a long way yesterday. Both reservoirs are still spilling so the water is up. The East and Main flows are dropping slowly as the Beaverkill drops. The West Branch flow is staying pretty level with the spill. Today will be cooler hitting 54 degrees with some clouds and sunshine. Wind will be up a bit hitting the teens from the North.
