Extended Forecast for Roscoe NY  https://www.wunderground.com/weather/us/ny/roscoe

Fishing reports and conditions:  3/23/25, 8:00am

Driving up this morning the branches of trees reaching for the sun, buds on birches getting redder everyday, the Daffodil's are  just breaking the ground here in the Catskills. Rivers are in good shape to wade, if one had to float I would suggest lower West into the Mainstem. Continue to use streamers, nymphs, such as Stones, Pheasant tails, Perdigons. Dry fly fishing is next to nothing, need to warm the water up. Today very windy, currently from the N/NW 13 mph, winds could be from 2-13 mph with gusts up to 30 mph. Todays high 38 degrees,
