Just spent a few days in the catskills for "bug week" and thought I'd share some scenery and a couple fish.
Our goal was to fish the West Branch of the Delaware in search of some beefier fish, but that was quickly squashed upon our arrival as a massive storn dumped a ton of rain north of Hancock which filled the reservoir and in-turn, swelled the river right before our eyes. The delaware never did come down in the few days we were there. We were pretty bummed as we thought all was lost. After checking all the flow meters for the other area streams.......every hour on the hour, we were relieved to find out that the Beaverkill was quickly on its way back down, and would probably be wadeable and fishable if we were willing to take a ride. We were ecstatic after taking the 20 minute drive east, to find clear water, bugs coming off......and rising fish. Heres just a couple pics of my surroundings
