River Report
Extended Forecast for Roscoe NY https://www.wunderground.com/weather/us/ny/roscoe
Fishing reports and conditions: 2/8/25, 8:00am
Leaving the house this morning the sunrise was spectacular! This is the time of the year you also see more Hawks in trees along the roads and fields,. I really appreciate seeing these events during my day. The rivers Beaverkill and Willowemoc are still pretty much iced up, You can pick and choose where you want to fish or step in. But it is limited. Slow pools such as Cairn's is frozen over, Just above Junction Pool you have a little more room. This week coming some snow events, check the weather before coming. I will be posting an Instagram post of what some sections of the rivers look like, as of this morning.

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!
