Yesterday felt like November with temps in the high 40’s spitting rain. Luckily today we warm back up into the 60’s with some sunshine. With that weather change comes wind so we’ll have 10 – 20 mph out of the North. Streamers and nymphs will be your best bets on the tailwaters if the wind dies in the evening or you can find a sheltered area blue wing olives. The West Branch and East Branch are both a little high to wade. The Beaverkill flow dropped into the 500 cfs range so there will be more wade options there.
