Today looks like a good day with light wind and good cloud cover. Most people have been fishing streamers early and finding some fish rising later in the afternoon. There are a lot of Pseudos hatching plus some Heptagenia and Isonychias. Look for rising fish in slow sections. At these water levels it’s tough for the fish to set up in a lot places. The Beaverkill is just over 1,000 cfs this morning so barring anymore rain we should see some wade opportunities open up there over the next few days. The headwaters of the Beaverkill and Willowemoc should offer some wade opportunities today. The West and East Branch flows will stay high until the releases are cut back. The color of the West Branch will also improve when the release is cut back.
