Beaverkill Roscoe NY, 4/18-19/14

[AndyS]

Even though our float trip got blown out Wilson and I headed up to Trout Town USA. We met at the Roscoe diner for some good eats Friday morning then headed down the Beaverkilll. It was tough nut to crack, water was very high but clear. Worked our way down the river and one pool was choked with trout, I guess the hatchery truck had just pulled away. Worked our way down and got an early steak dinner at Lidia’s. Wilson went back to the room for some single malt and I went over to Deposit to do a few throws on the West Branch, nothing.
Saturday with the water so high we went over to the Willow, again a tough nut, few fish. Wilson split for home and I went back down the Beaverkill and fished a bit on the lower East Branch, again high and very, very cold water, only a few fish.
Came home along the Big D. Every trib is full of water up in NY, water everywhere. It is still very much winter up there, snow on the ground when we got up there Friday.
