Yesterday’s storms spared the West Branch but hit the eastern drainage pretty hard. The West Branch is in fine shape this morning with a flow of 400 cfs at Hale Eddy. Oquaga Creek is only 56 cfs so we should stay in good shape. We had really strong tiny olive hatches yesterday afternoon. Today could be similar with the cloud cover. Just hide from the wind. The Beaverkill and lower East Branch will need a couple of days for the flows to drop. There is a lot of water in those two rivers. The flow at Harvard is 500 cfs and dropping so there are some opportunities above the junction with the Beaverkill.
Today will be 55 degrees with cloudy skies. There is a slight chance of a rain shower but the total rainfall should be negligible. Wind will be 10 – 20 mph from the West.
