The river flows bumped up slightly from yesterday’s rain and another shower overnight. According to Wunderground we may see a little more rain today but most of it should hold off until after dark. So we should have good cloud cover with 5 – 10 mph wind from the South. Cannonsville and Pepacton Reservoirs are both spilling. The East and West Branches are in fine shape for floating but the best wade opportunities are on the Beaverkill and Willowemoc. There are a lot of different bugs on the water so watch the fish carefully to figure out what they are doing. If you see bugs and no fish don’t be afraid to move. Some spots fish better than others in high water.
