Yesterday ended up being really good with decent hatching and rising fish. We’re still seeing a mix of blue quills, hendricksons, and lots of caddis. Streamers were fishing better yesterday too. Definitely pack your blue winged olives today. The rivers look even clearer this morning than yesterday. If that changes late in the afternoon we will post an update. If the rain stays light and steady we should be okay this weekend. The flows are still up so the best wading is going to be on the Beaverkill / Willowemoc system. We woke up to light showers this morning. We should see rain throughout the day with winds in the teens. Air temperatures are actually looking good with a high predicted to close to 60 degrees. There may be some larger gusts later in the afternoon you’ll have to wait out. The flows are still up so the best wading is going to be on the Beaverkill / Willowemoc system.
