Fly Fishing Report for the Upper Delaware and Catskill Rivers
FINALLY SOME RAIN IN THE CATSKILLS! The photos in today's post are from guide Matt's recent trips Matt here with Tuesdays fishing report. The Upper Delaware got rain the past two days which has jumped the flows across the board. We have had guides on all three main rivers the past few days. Last week saw the West Branch hovering around 1100 CFS, about double the average for this time of year. The Upper East Branch was at the mid 60’s CFS but jumped to above 120 after the

This morning we have light rain falling. First time in a while and we really need it! Our guides were very busy over the weekend. Everyone was out on the water and we covered a lot of river miles. Normally I will make a statement to the quality of fishing , hot, good, fair etc, The current situation falls outside that assessment model. I would characterize the current fishing as different. There are so many different things happening at once. Low water in the freestones, High

The photos in today's post are from yesterday's action on the Main Delaware The last week has brought high sun and cooler air temps to the upper Delaware. Fishing conditions remain good overall, Anglers at this time have the luxury of deciding how they want to fish. Those Anglers looking to nymph should focus on the beaverkill, Lower East and mainstem. Look to find fish in less than 3 feet of water. A heavy iso followed by some smaller unweighted flies has been the ticket. Se

Dr. Bob with a giant Main Stem Rainbow from over the weekend. This giant Bow came from super skinny water and was landed on a tiny nymph. The fishing continues to be pretty good around the river system. There have been some daily changes and today is no different. With the lack of rainfall the freestone rivers continue to fall in flow. Right now there is unlimited wading in the Beaverkill, Willoemoc and East Branch. The Upper East has had another drop in release and today the
