The aqueduct work has been pushed off again. It is now scheduled for Fall of 2024.
We had some rain overnight and the flows are up slightly this morning. Oquaga Creek ha a;ready peaked at 60 cfs and is beginning to drop. The West Branch should peak soon and begin to drop too. The flow at Hale Eddy is still under 700 cfs and is in decent shape for wading and floating. Homepool is clear. We may see some additional storms this afternoon. Keep an eye on the radar to see where they’re tracking. Streamers are working well in low light. Small sulphurs, olives, and Isonychias are making up the bulk of the hatches.
The Beaverkill at Cooks Falls, East Branch at Fishs Eddy, and Mainstem at Lordville will peak over 70 degrees today. It’s time to give these sections a break and fish the colder water.
Today will be 79 degrees with some clouds in the morning with possible thunderstorms in the afternoon. Wind will be light and variable.
