While we had steady rain for a while the river flows remain about the same as yesterday. Most of the precipitation was soaked into the ground. We are coming off another cool night so water temperatures are in great shape this morning- even the Mainstem at Callicoon has dipped own into the 50’s. There were not a lot of mayflies hatching yesterday but there are spinners and lots of caddis around. The trick is being in the right place at the right time when they finally hit the water.
Accuweather is calling for cooler air temperatures today with highs in the 50’s. Winds should only gust to 6 mph and not be a factor today.
Hatching:
Slate Drake #14 – Isonychia bicolor
Olive Sulphur #18 – 20 – Heptagenia hebe
