Extended Forecast for Roscoe NY https://www.wunderground.com/weather/us/ny/roscoe
Fishing reports and conditions: 6/18/25, 6:30 am,
Light rain fell over night and more to come today, Rivers are in good shape and running clear. Birds started singing this morning around 4:23 am and they are still going strong! Yesterday I had to travel to Hancock to see the Line of inventory from Simms next year, driving up RT.17 cloudy and cool with a mist on the windshield, told myself if this is quick with Simms I am on the water! Simms took an hour and by 12:30 pm I was on my favorite river being rewarded with some good fish! More so on the Rainbow side of the trout family, the river had small olives on the water #22/24 dark Olives and the fish were up and eating them, there were a few tan caddis and Iso's, I took fish on all those flies including a small CDC rusty spinner. Yesterday I would rate in my top 3 days on the water this year! Went with a longer leader 15 ft and used 6X and had some nice down stream presentations that had Rainbows flying out of the water and into my backing. Was visited by a bank side friend, a doe with her orange coat now on for the summer. I fished from 12:30 pm to almost 6 pm. Today Cloudy with a shower or two, high 73 degrees, winds S/SE 2-7 mph with gusts up to 18 mph, sounds like another fishing day! Again all rivers are wadable and fishable and running clear. In my box, Sulphers, Olives, Iso's, Caddis, Spinners and carry Cahill's.
