I took off Friday 10/3 through Monday 10/6 to meet DaveS in NY. One last shot at D for the year. It appears that my horrible draw on weather for 2014 will continue. The forecast for heavy storms has made me already cancel the room for Friday.
Predicted summary:
Friday - Upper 60's, cloudy with thunderstorms turning Beaverkill and lower East Branch to chocolate milk. In turn the big D will also be reddish brown.
Saturday - Due to muddy water on the East and Main, we went to the West. The flow of 1380 cfs was quite stained due to silt being pulled off the bottom of the lake. Because of the rain from the night before, they drop the release to 225 cfs at 10am. The drop in flow caused us drag the boat 80% of the way to the takeout. Fortunately, the front caused 25-40 mph winds downriver which made dragging easier and fishing impossible.
Sunday - Clearing conditions and cold in the morning....or so I was told. After Saturdays bad experience, I sat on the motel porch drinking until 4am and then slept until 1pm. Drove out to look at rivers.....still muddy and jacked up. Ordered a pizza and watched football. More lager and passing out.
Monday - Frustrated, I leave a 9am and come home to play golf.
I don't have a crystal ball but lets see how close I am. I'll post report at the end of each day.
