Yesterday was another clear, sunny day. People found some fish early but nymphing and wets were the best bet until the sun started to drop and the sulphurs hatched. Cahills, Isonychias, and olives have also been on the water. Caddis are active in the mornings and evenings. They are on the water sporadically so it’s definitely worth throwing a tan #18 caddis at sporadic fish. We should see some clouds in the afternoon today but any rain should hold off until after dark. Total rainfall should be negligible at .15″. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the North.
The Mainstem at Lordville, East Branch at Fishs Eddy, and the Beaverkill at Cooks Falls all peaked at 68 yesterday afternoon and are starting off warmer than yesterday morning. It’s time to give these sections a break until the temps drop again.
