We’re seeing some scattered showers this morning but the rain total should be negligible at 1/10″. Cloud cover, 63 degrees, and wind 5 – 10 mph from the South make this look like a good day on paper. Hendricksons, blue quills, quills gordons, and little black caddis are making up the bulk of the food. The hatches have been a bit spotty but the bugs are there. The water temps are creeping up so hopefully that pushes the hatches.
The West Branch at Stilesville is a steady 1,360 cfs. The reservoirs have stopped spilling. There are now a few wade opportunities over here if you’re a strong wader and careful. It’s not ideal but it’s something. The Beaverkill and Willowemoc are in perfect shape for wading. Click on the links below for the latest flow information
