The fishing conditions in the Upper Delaware are very good. All area rivers have now cleared up and are looking good. Currently our area rivers have about normal late fall conditions. The Beaverkill and Willowemoc are finally moving. Both rivers look great this morning and anglers should have nice fishing conditions through the end of the season. If you plan to fish these waters in the coming weeks make sure you fish around the deep pools. These are the only places where there are fish at this time. The East Branch also has some additional water in it this morning. There should be good fishing conditions through the end of November. Visiting anglers should be aware that the upper sections of both the east and west branches are now closed for the year. On the east the closed portion is from the Shinhopple bridge upstream to the dam. On the West is is from Just below West Branch Angler up to the dam. All other waters in the Upper Delaware remain open until the end of November. The no-kills on the Beaverkill and Willowemoc and the border waters of the West Branch and Main Stem remain open year round. Since the rainfall the fishing has remained about steady on the section of river that I have been taking my guests. The dry fly action is very good and there is no need to fish any other method. Blue Wing olives are on the water and they are reliable every day. On yesterdays float we had very steady action from start to finish. We put 8 large trout in the net on Olive Dun imitations. The 2 photos below are our largest Bow and Brown of the float. Both Trout were just shy of the 20 mark. The fishing should get even better as it starts to get colder. I have an opening on Friday Oct. 24th. I also have some additional openings after the 27th. of the month. If you want to get one more trip in before the snow flies now is the time to give me a call. 607-290-4022.
