The overnight rain did hit us and the rivers are up this morning. The West Branch at Hale Eddy is only at 530 cfs as of 6:30 this morning but it is climbing. It looks clear out front right now. Oquaga Creek is running 530 cfs so the West will continue to climb for a bit and may get some color in the afternoon. Like normal the Eastern drainage is up more with the Beaverkill flowing over 1,000 cfs. There are still some showers passing through and the flows are still climbing so click on the links below fro the latest information during the day.
We had a bit of rain during the day yesterday but for the most part it was overcast without too much wind. We did have some tiny olives in the afternoon and the caddis came out of the bushes towards dark. Fish were eating the olives but didn’t seem to get a lot of shots at the iso spinners and caddis where we were fishing.
There is some color in the West Branch from the release. The cloudiness will increase if they raise the release. It happens every Fall when the reservoir begins to turn over.
