FISHING REPORT


The Catskill Fly Fishing Report
July 13th, 2025
Beaverkill River, Willowemoc Creek, and the Delaware River System


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

 

Today will be a high of 78, expect sporadic showers through out the day with chances of lightning.

The Beaverkill and Willowemoc are still running low and are too hot to trout fish, if you plan on fishing the freestone rivers be there at first light when the water is colder.

​

The West Branch is fishing well and is very wadable but is too low for boats. The fishing is technical so have long fine leaders with you. Sulphurs are hatching periodically through out the day but have Isonychia in your box to use as a search pattern.

​

The East Branch is very low, the fish are spooky right now so perfect wading and presentation is a must. If I fished the East today I would have a 12Ft 6X leader tied on and would only make cast to rising fish any disturbance will put the fish down. Before entering the river make sure no fish are feeding against the bank, most people stand in feeding fish on the East.

​

The Main Stem is fishing well for Bass and other warm water species, my go to fly's for smallmouth this time of year are Fat Head Deceivers, Lefty's Deceiver, Clouser Minnow, plastic poppers and deer hair poppers are working in the morning and evening, and I would have a crawfish pattern you have confidence in.

Some other great warm water fisheries in the Catskills are the lower section of the Esopus Creek, the Schoharie below Pratsville, and the East Branch above the Pepacton.  

​

​HATCHES: Sulphurs (Sz 14-18), Isonychia (Sz 10-14), Light Cahill (Sz 12-16) BWO (Sz 16-24)
