Post winter (March)
    If  you're looking to beat the "cabin fever" blues this is about the earliest you can get out and hope to catch some fish. March usually means high and cold water, but some unusually large fish can be caught. The fishing is all done on the bottom with larger flies.

Early spring (April)
    Early April is still a cold time of the year, the fishing is mostly below the surface with nymphs and streamers. Towards the later part of the month, the Hendricksons come out and we get to do the first real dry fly fishing of the year. This is also the time of the year when Shad fishing starts and we begin about the third week of the month.  Overall, April is a transitional time highly dependent on water levels and the thermometer. 

Late spring/early summer (May-June)
    Great hatches, rising fish, warming weather ......it's a great time of the year to be out on a Catskill river.  This is the peak time to be fishing and we try to take advantage of it with long days on the water, maximizing our opportunities to cast to rising fish.  Shad fishing continues through the month of  June. 

Summer (July-August)
    Summer fishing for trout is mostly dependent on the cold water releases from Cannonsville reservoir.  We are always monitoring water levels and temperatures and plan trips accordingly.  The insect activity is sporadic with the exception of a few major hatches. 

Late summer/early autumn (September-October)
    Fishing improves once again with the cooling temperatures of late summer and early fall.  There is a significant increase in insect activity and dry fly fishing is again the main focus.

Late autumn (November)
    There is still some good fishing this time of the year, even some dry fly fishing can be done. 

Planning your trip . . . what to bring.
    Things to bring are, a fishing license(NY or PA for the Delaware River), waders, rain gear(always), polarized sunglasses, extra clothing and sunscreen.
