River Report

Fishing reports and conditions: 10/13/26, 7:15 a.m. Today will bring a brief rain shower, the high near 71 degrees with winds currently S/SE 1-11 mph with gusts up to 25 mph. All rivers are wadable and fishable, the river with the most water is the Esopus, again NYC closed the valve a bit and the West branch is down, which maybe a issue with drift boats, those who float may have to head to the Mainstem. Beaverkill, Willowemoc and Neversink all good. Choose the river you want to fish. Continue to think Olives, Iso's and some Caddis, maybe a Hebe or Sulpher. Streamers are effective now, sometimes I fish a tandem of two streamers or a streamer and a stonefly as a trailer. I am also now fishing a nine-to-12-foot leader due to falling leaves. My hot fly has been an olive cripple "last chance" version, size 20/22 also carry some spinners, an Iso or two, midges. Browns have been sighted spawning and are on redds, so be careful now. If one can target Rainbows. Catskill colors still excellent and fishing has been fair from 1pm to about 4/5 pm "We now have exclusive water to fish" 3 miles of Private water!
