It was a great season for night fishing in the Catskill Mountains. We still have a few nights left but with the colder evenings the daytime fishing has been steadily increasing. The west branch and upper main are the place to go with low water and high temperatures in other places. Lordville is now in the upper 50’s while writing this.
Flying ants, ISO’s caddis bwo’s and some terrestrials have been the ticket. The big storm a week ago changed many tributaries and sections of the big rivers. New strainers can make boating dangerous if you do not know the rivers.
All of the rivers are looking healthy and have solid amounts of cold water right now. There was a sketchy section mid July when the rivers did get to some deadly warm trout temperatures. Don’t forget to check out our FLOWS PAGE to see what the current levels are.
We have a few days left for September and October. Both can be the best dry fly months of the year depending on conditions. The dams both should be releasing water due to the scheduled maintenance October 1st. Feel free to text us as we will be on the water every day.
Below is a few of the fish we got in the past couple weeks.
