The river flows have dropped back quite a bit and everything looks good this morning. The East and West Branches are at good levels for floating and wading. The Beaverkill is still running a bit high at 1,440 cfs but that should continue to drop back today Today we’ll have more sunshine than we’ve seen in a while but that should be fine with the decent water temps. Nymphing or swinging wets would be good bets early with olives, Heptagenia, and a few Isonychias in the afternoon. Caddis may be more active with the sunshine and warmer air temps. We’re still seeing algae in the Upper West Branch so streamers and nymphing are better below Hale Eddy.
Today will be 68 degrees with a mix of clouds and sun. Wind light and variable.
What’s Hatching:
Olive Sulphur – # 18 – 20 – Heptagenia hebe
