HATCH CHART
Water temps on the Willowemoc, Beaverkill have slightly recovered after that heat wave. Flows are very low and the tailwaters are the best option. We have rain today and are hoping that it is enough to help a bit with the conditions. Keep an eye on things as we get through into Tuesday morning the 23rd of June. USGS gauges should get a bump from the daytime and possible overnight showers.
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. Trout are looking up in the mornings and evenings. Evenings will give great opportunity for spinner falls before 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 we transition from spring into Summer bugs. Olives can be seen on cloudy or rainy days.
2025 was another absolutely fantastic season shared with so many amazing new and returning Clients.
So many folks are getting well ahead of things and jumping on the books for 2026. If you have specific dates in mind for Spring 2027 please don’t hesitate to reach out to get on the calendar. This last winter I basically booked my Spring trips full by the time we got our first trip on the water.
I typically advise for booked dates to begin mid April but some spring seasons come on earlier. Early April bookings should be flexible in the instance we get a late start to spring and are better suited to those who live closer and can adjust if needed.
