We had some rain late in the evening that bumped the flows on the Eastern drainage. Not much but something. It wasn’t enough to bump the flow on the West Branch and we are tarting off about the same as yesterday. Today will be cooler hitting 74 degrees. We may see some severe thunderstorms with high winds and maybe even some hail so keep that in mind while planning your day and have a safe out. Hopefully the heavy storms miss us. The march brown hatch is picking up (that one is usually a bit sporadic) and we’re still seeing hendricksons, apple caddis, tan caddis, and a few quill gordons on the colder water sections. The water temp in Callicoon peaked at 70 degrees again yesterday so if you’re fishing down river check the temps first.
