Today will be a gem of a day, high 71 degrees, clear skies, with a NW wind 2-7 mph with gusts up to 16 mph. The first of the Tailwaters have shut down, the Neversink is flowing 87 cfs as the resrvoir is at 38.1% capacity. Remember this is man made as they are suppose to work and repair the leaking pipeline. Not sure yet on the East and West branches but there seems to be movement on the Reservoirs releases now as they are a bit lower. Yesterday on the rivers Olives, Both East branch and Beaverkill, East also saw some Cahill's and summer steno's and one or two Iso's yes fish were looking up. All rivers very wadable, but Willowemoc and Beaverkill need some rain as they are low.

nd re Fly of the Week: CDC Olive emerger
Hook: DF1 #14-24
Thread: Olive 12/0
Shuck: Brown Z-lon
Body: Superfine Olive, Olive Gray or Olive brown
Wing: CDC medium dun
So this time of the year the Iso's emerge as a different color on the Beaverkill or East branch. I have been doing well with a size #14 Olive emerger, as the Iso's or Slate Drakes as some call it emerge they have a Olive Gray/dun color to it before it darkens, If one is fishing a Iso pattern and they are refusing it, try the Olive emerger it might make the difference! But we are now coming to the end of the season and all size Olives will be the main diet, so tie a bunch in different sizes and colors.
This is the last fly of the week till next year!
