Today Sunny and Breezy, high 61 degrees with a NW wind 4-13 mph and gusts up to 32 mph, currently 12 mph. Last night some heavy rain fell for about 2 hours, raising the Beaverkill a bit, all rivers are running clear this morning and wadabled. Saw my first snake of the year so those critters are out. I fished after doing a little shop work yesterday, during the midday I worked to see a fish, finally on my last move to my favorite river, I hooked and landed decent brown on a dropper off a Hendrickson parachute, small Pheasant tail was the answer. Saw a few Hendrickson, Blue Quills, but mostly Caddis emerging or coming back to lay eggs. Wind got strong with frustrating me, So I called it about 5/5:30 pm. Sitting in front of my camper about 7 pm, Caddis came back and a few fish up and feeding. Catskills getting Greener everyday, nice time to see everything coming alive.
