The release from Cannonsville has been dropped a bit and the flow at Stilesville is 1,180 cfs this morning. It’s still too high to wade but it’s a start. It will still have the color at this release but the fish and bugs don’t mind it. Hopefully the release drops more over the next few days. We’re in the midst of some warmer days but the cloud cover has been decent and the river temps are holding on even on the Mainstem. Today will be in the low 70’s again with the cloud cover. It’ll probably be the same program with streamers or nymphs early and afternoon olives in the long slow pools. The Beaverkill and Willowemoc flows are dropping and those two rivers still offer the best wade opportunities.
