A few thunderstorms passed through overnight but the west Branch flow is steady with the 500 cfs release. The Beaverkill and East Branch flows bumped up slightly but nothing really noticeable.
Today will be cooler hitting 78 degrees with a mix of clouds and sun. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the North. Not a bad day to be on the water. The best daytime hatching should be in the coldest water near the dams. The lower West Branch should pick up in the evening. Small sulphurs, cahills, and olives should be on the water. There are Isonychias and caddis around too.
The East Branch at Fishs Eddy, the Beaverkill at Cooks Falls, and the Mainstem at Lordville all peaked over 70 degrees yesterday. Give these sections a break until we get cooler temps.
