The aqueduct work has been pushed off again. It is now scheduled for Fall of 2024.
The release from Cannonsville was decreased to 500 cfs. There are daytime sulphur hatches on the Upper West. Nymphing is tough up there with the algae. The lower West is better for nymphing and has bugs coming off as the sun drops. If we do get the storms we may see some olives and Isonychias earlier in the day.
The Beaverkill at Cooks Falls, East Branch at Fishs Eddy, and Mainstem at Lordville all peaked over 70 degrees yesterday. It’s time to give these sections a break and fish the colder water.
Today will be cooler hitting 78 degrees with potential thunderstorms. A lot of these storms tend to slide around us so keep an eye on the radar. Wunderground is calling for 1/2″ of rain. Wind will be light and variable.
