River Report
Extended Forecast for Roscoe NY https://www.wunderground.com/weather/us/ny/roscoe
Fishing reports and conditions: 2/28/26, 8:30 a.m.
Going to feel great today in Roscoe as air temps reach near 50 degrees, the rivers are slowly opening up but they are still not there, ice. If one wanted to fish and has cabin fever, the upper tailwaters are open, or one could attend Fly-fest at the Rockland house today. Plus if you have kids the Ice fest is today in the area. The sap or as I call it the "Glow" is starting in branches of trees such as Maples and Willow's. Monday will be a day of deep freeze, but the up-coming temps look promising and a thaw could happen.
