There was a quick pulse of an extra 100 cfs from Cannonsville overnight. This was done to keep the Mainstem at Lordville from hitting 75 degrees. The flow at Stilesville has already dropped back to normal. Yesterday was another sunny so it fished a lot like normal summer conditions. There is some daytime activity on the upper river sections. Mostly sulphurs with a few cahills. The lower West Branch has been good as the sun drops with a mix of sulphurs, cahills, and a few Isonychias. Nymphing and wet flies have worked better midday. Today will be warmer hitting 89 degrees. Hopefully Wunderground is correct and we’ll see cloud cover. Wind will be 10 – 15 mph from the South. There is a slight chance of a stray thunderstorm.
The East Branch at Fishs Eddy, The Beaverkill at Cooks Falls, and the Mainstem at Lordville all peaked over 70 degrees yesterday. It’s time to give these sections a break until we get cooler temps.
