Current Report / Information

The Willowemoc and Beaverkill are high from last nights rain but will be rounding into shape as summer gives way to fall. You’ll still want to watch water temps on the lower stretches of these on warmer or sunny days and look for cooler water. Fall brings Isonychia mayfly and fall caddis hatches so have those patterns ready through September and October. Swinging Iso wets is a great way to prospect the oxygenated riffles this time of year.

The weather can come and go on certain days but we make the best of it. A rain jacket, plenty of optimism, and a back up plan are a few things you shouldn’t leave home without. Mornings on certain stretches can produce trico hatches and smaller terrestrials like Ants and beetles could still play. Evenings will typically have sulphur hatch and the opportunity for spinner falls near dark so be ready.

Sulphurs hatch late on the tailwaters in the evening and returning spinners just before dark. We are seeing some Cahills and Iso coming off in areas as well. Olives can be seen on cloudy or rainy days.
