River Report
Extended Forecast for Roscoe NY https://www.wunderground.com/weather/us/ny/roscoe
Fishing reports and conditions: 10/29/24, 6:30 am.
West branch is now at 1000 cfs and is limited in wade, still has color, East branch dropped a little more easy to wade. Beaverkill and willowemoc same story thirsty for rain, but in deeper pools you may see a head. Esopus is nymphing water and that is at a good level. Neversink is low but fishing well with midges. I fished for two hours after locking up on my favorite river, midges were the ticket, didn't see any mayflies on the water at the time I was there. Leaves are now past, maybe I picked up one or two on my drifts and that's it. The Mountains pretty much brown oak leaves, some burn't orange, you will still see a touch of yellow here and there, the foilage is pretty much over. One pool I fish has a buck scrape off the trail, it's been very active, lots of different foot prints in it and the leaves are constantly kicked away. Flies in my box, my vest is getting lighter, Midges, Olives, Nymphs and a few streamers. Remember protect the Redds, they are our future, target Rainbows.

nd re Fly of the Week: CDC Olive emerger
Hook: DF1 #14-24
Thread: Olive 12/0
Shuck: Brown Z-lon
Body: Superfine Olive, Olive Gray or Olive brown
Wing: CDC medium dun
So this time of the year the Iso's emerge as a different color on the Beaverkill or East branch. I have been doing well with a size #14 Olive emerger, as the Iso's or Slate Drakes as some call it emerge they have a Olive Gray/dun color to it before it darkens, If one is fishing a Iso pattern and they are refusing it, try the Olive emerger it might make the difference! But we are now coming to the end of the season and all size Olives will be the main diet, so tie a bunch in different sizes and colors.
This is the last fly of the week till next year!
