Bugs! A sporadic, but steady stream of small stenos was present from about 3PM until dark yesterday, and the fish were quite happily munching on them. No Isos to be seen, but I am sure the rain and cloud cover will bring them back as well. Also, the heavy rain overnight has not affected the flows too greatly, with the exception of the Beaverkill which is now in 800 CFS range, but this should not greatly change the clarity on the East / Main.
