Extended Forecast for Roscoe NY https://www.wunderground.com/weather/us/ny/roscoe
Fishing reports and conditions: 7/27/24,
A lite haze hangs over the Beaverkill this morning eventually it will burn off, another comfortable evening in the Catskills as I wake to 54 degrees. I traveled a bit after locking up yesterday and found a small stream in the mountains that I had fished many times before in the past, water temp at 5:45 pm was 63 degrees, I open the back of my SUV and got out my 7' ft 4 wt bamboo rod and tied on a old Royal coachman. This little brook was holding water from a previous storm and the recipients of the Royal coachman were eager to jump all over it. Fun night! Beaverkill and Willowemoc need some water low and will warm up this afternoon, Tailwaters are your best bet, there you will have more fish and bug activity. Here you can find sulphers, Olives, Cahill's, On the East branch Trico's are now over the water in the mornings. Other bugs you may want to carry are midges, Hebe's, Drakes, Golden and Yellow. Spinners of different sizes and colors should be in ones box. Neversink above Bridgeville hit or miss but it is at a good level and cold. Continue to try a dry dropper in the riffles and also carry a few Terrestrails. Today 78 degrees, Sunny with a North wind 2-5 mph with gusts up to 11 mph.

When the sulphers are emerging and those picky Browns or Rainbows are feeding in the film and refusing your emergers, try swinging a soft hackle in front of them, sometimes I use two in tandem.
