The clouds stuck around most of the day making yesterday a bit more pleasant than it has been lately. The lower West fished early while the fog was still on the water. Nymphing worked well in the afternoon. The afternoon hatches are coming off closer to the dams offering some daytime shots. Small sulphurs, cahills, and olives should be on the water. We’ve seen some caddis in the mornings. Blind casting Isonychias and cahills in the riffles has put some fish in the net. We’ll have a bit more sun today with the air temp hitting 85 degrees. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the South.
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.
