The Beaverkill, East Branch, and Mainstem flows are up quite a bit from yesterday’s rain. The West Branch is up slightly but is a nice 525 cfs at Hale Eddy. There is a slight tint to the lower West but it is fishable. The wind was rough yesterday and it was mostly a streamer day. Today looks similar with the temp hitting 54 degrees, a morning shower, and wind 20 – 25 mph from the North. The sun should poke through in the afternoon. Tomorrow looks much nicer on paper.
