Welcome to the Stream Update page for The Rainbow's End Flies website. Use this page to monitor stream conditions throughout the area and to see what's hatching and what's catching! The spring season has begun and the Delaware watershed is in good condition. The reservoirs are filled and New York City will, hopefully, cooperate in releasing suitable amounts of water to provide temperature relief throughout the summer. As you anticipate your fishing trips for 2008, remember to fill your fly boxes with flies from Rainbow's End Flies.

| Stream conditions in the area are as follows: East Branch at Harvard: 173cfs/59; Beaverkill at Cooks Falls 114cfs/68; West Branch at Stilesville 256cfs/44; West Branch at Hale Eddy 300cfs/51; Main Stem at Lordville 705cfs/70; Main Stem at Callicoon 860cfs/73; Neversink at Bridgeville 124cfs/62. Reservoir levels as of 7/1 are: Cannonsville 87.9%; Pepacton 90.0%.
Nothing new here. High water temps preclude trout fishing in most of the Main Stem. The West Branch remains your best choice if your going to fish during the holiday weekend. The smallmouth fishing is good, but that aside not much is going on in the area. Look at the flows at Callicoon and you'll see why temps are high. With rain of some volume every day, it's still not enough to maintain a good level in streams around the region. Look for sulphurs, olives and Isonychia. I apologize for the short report, but there isn't much to talk about right now! I am happy to announce the arrival of the newest member of my family. Bearpoint's They call Me the Breeze arrived at the airport on Wednesday. She is a gorgeous black female with a hall of fame pedigree. I'll get you a picture as soon as I remember to charge my camera batteries. |
