Yesterday’s 900 cfs release from Cannonsville was a pulse and we were back at a 500 cfs release by mid morning. Last night the pulse was 700 cfs and will drop back to 500 cfs at 9 am. Midday sulphurs and olives on the upper river sections are still the best bets for dry fly fishing. There are some Isonychias and cahills mixed in too. We may see some thunderstorms this morning but the rain total should be negligible. That could push some bugs on the lower West but nymphing or swinging wets will be the best bets there until the sun drops.
Today will be 90 degrees with some possible rain showers his morning and some sunshine in the afternoon. Wind will be 10 – 15 mph from the South.
The Beaverkill at Cooks Falls, the East Branch at Fishs Eddy, and the Mainstem water temps are all too hot to fish this morning. It’s time to give these rivers a break.
