FISHING REPORT


The Catskill Fly Fishing Report 2025
April 17, 2025
Beaverkill River, Willowemoc Creek, and the Delaware River System


STORE HOURS: TUESDAY TO SUNDAY 9AM - 5PM
 
Today will be a high of 53° and sunny, looking at the ten day forecast today will be the coolest day for a while. Now that we are getting proper spring weather the fishing should pick up quickly. Be on the look out for rising fish as the warmer temps can cause a hatch to happen at any time, but be prepared to fish nymphs and streamers. I've found the most success fishing double nymph rigs under a indicator, the key to get a nymphing rig to work is adjusting the depth you are fishing by moving your indicator, adding or subtracting split shot and or changing you position in the water to get a different drift. When the water is colder the trout tend to be more selective of what they eat because their metabolism is slowed and they don't need to eat as much so putting your flies right in front of a fish is paramount.
