The release from Cannonsville was increased to 500 cfs. That’s not enough to be noticeable on the water but it is something. Yesterday was another hotbright day pushing most of the activity to low light times. Today will be cooler hitting 77 degrees with good cloud cover. There is a chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon. Wunderground is only calling for 1/4″ of rain during the day so we’ll have to watch how the storms track. Caddis, march browns, gray fox, sulphurs, cahills, brown drakes, and green drakes. Today’s weather may push some olives too. The cloud cover may also help the hatching start earlier in the afternoon.
The Mainstem at Lordville, East Branch at Fishs Eddy and Beaverkill at Cooks Falls all peaked over 70 degrees yesterday and are starting off hot this morning. It’s time to give these rivers a break until we get a serious coo down.
