Most people reported good hatches yesterday. There are definitely good numbers of caddis. Some river sections are seeing hendricksons and blue quills while others have moved past those to march browns. The Beaverkill flow at Cooks Falls has dropped to around 1,000 cfs offering some wade opportunities. Wunderground is showing some rain spread out over the next few days so check the gauges for the latest flows. There is no wadeable water on the West Branch, East Branch and Mainstem. We should see a light rain shower this afternoon with 5 – 10 mph wind from the South.
