Re: Heading north!!
Just was there on Saturday on a bourbon run (Do Good Spirits is on the next block over from Catskill Flies). Both the Willow and Beaverkill had good heads of water in them.
Good luck.

Hi, I will be going up the 2nd. week in June to fish the Dun Variant,Lt. Cahill,caddis fly hatches. Wanted to go up the first week in June but couldn’t make it. I was up the end of the first week in May and did fair to poor. So hoping next time will be better. Bill

Re: Heading north!!
Well back to work today
Overall gr8 trip...nice cool temps the first few days...didnt really get hot until sunday....spinner falls were pretty epic with march brown spinners by evening and iso spinners early morning....Saturday evening threw a curve with vast amounts of coffin flies!!!didnt see even one on the two prior evenings.....most mornings about 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. gave up thick cornuta hatches with fast action fishing....sunday ,monday , tuesday only fished early morning at the beav due to unfishable afternoon water temps, but the upper east had hot evening action so all good...The amount of beautiful mcloud rainbows inhabiting the beaverkill is amazing to say the least!!! Good luck to all heading up there...With last night and todays rain, there is finally some good water in all the systems so fishing should be gr8 this comming week
