We had some afternoon thunderstorms that added a bit of water to the Beaverkill and East Branch but had no affect o the West Branch. It’s clear and just under 600 cfs on the lower West this morning. We’ll hit 78 degrees today with sunshine and wind 10 – 15 mph out of the North. The best bet for daytime dry fly activity remains on the coldest sections of the rivers. The lower sections will be nymphing / wet flies early with the best shot of dry fly action in the evening as the sun drops. No real change in hatches so sulphurs, cahills, and olives. Plus some Isonychias.
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.

Slate Drake – 12-2xl – 12- Isonychia bicolor
