FISHING REPORT


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


STORE HOURS: OPEN 7 DAY'S A WEEK
MONDAY - THURSDAY 9AM TO 5PM
FRIDAY - SATURDAY 8AM TO 6PM
SUNDAY 8AM TO 5PM


Today will be cloudy with a high of 75 and mostly cloudy. The Beaverkill and the Willowemoc are still up but are clear and fishing well, last night I had some luck on nymphs before the hatch started. Fish started rising 30 minutes before dark so sticking it out to the end will be essential to finding risers. March Brown spinners where up in the air but not on the water some Yellow Sally's where coming off.

The Upper Delaware System is still to high to wade but at a great flow to do a float on, our guides have been having lots of luck with yellow streamers and big nymphs to get down to the bottom.


HATCHES FOR THE BEAVERKILL / WILLOWEMOC AND THE DELAWARE RIVER SYSTEM: March Brown, Yellow Sally, Dark Caddis, Blue Winged Olive

SHOP RECOMMENDED FLIES: Soft Hackle Pheasant Tail (Sz 14-10), Hares Ear (Sz 14-10), March Brown Parachute (Sz 14-10), Rusty Spinners (Sz 14-12), Woolly Buggers (all sizes and colors)


GUIDE TRIP OPENINGS: Our calendar is almost filled up for guide trips in may, we still have some openings mostly on week days give us a call to see if we have availability. For the month of June we still have openings on most days, in June the West Branch fishes exceptionally well and we do as many float trips on the West Branch as we do wade trips on the Beaverkill at this time of year. We also do bass fishing trips that can either be wade trips on Schoharie creek or floats on the Main Stem of the Delaware.
