Fishing Report

Holiday Greetings, Compleat Anglers! It has been a great season, and time now for the final fishing report of 2016!  As you know, Connecticut and Catskill trout rivers have been in a severe drought. So the rains of yesterday and today have been most welcome!  While they won't alleviate the dry conditions and low waters, they will certainly help.

Greetings Compleat Anglers!  Here is your fishing report for November 10th: In both Connecticut and the Catskills, there is still some good trout fishing to be had, although the Catskill rivers are a tougher bet as early winter approaches. The Delaware River system is at good height with all three branches at a good flow level.

Greetings Compleat Anglers!  Fall is upon us, and with it a mixture of beautiful foliage and beautiful fish! Here's the Fishing Report for October 20th! Fishing in L.I. Sound has been hot of late. There is still lots of bait (bunker of all sizes, bay anchovies, silversides and others) along the coast from Greenwich to Fairfield and points north.

Greetings Compleat Anglers!  It's early fall here in Connecticut and in the Catskills and water temperatures in our freshwater rivers as well as in LI Sound are dropping nicely.  Our Connecticut rivers and the Catskill rivers are all still low due to scarce rain this summer. However, later this week will bring several days of rain and hopefully that will lift both the Farmington and Housatonic rivers, as well as the Catskill rivers such as the Delaware system and the Beaverkill.

Greetings Compleat Anglers, and from all the staff here at the shop, we wish you a Happy Holiday Weekend!  Here is the fishing report for 4th of July Weekend!  Our rivers, lakes and ponds are in full summer conditions, so it pays to check ahead to ascertain water levels, temperatures and hatching activity.

Greetings Compleat Anglers!  Trout fishing is very much under summer conditions, with some rivers being too low and warm to fish effectively and other rivers still fishing well. This week Catskill rivers were a mixed bag.

Greetings Compleat Anglers!  Summer has set in and fishing remains strong, both in our freshwater rivers and in Long Island Sound! Catskill rivers are very much in a summer pattern, with clear water and summer hatches in full swing...

Greetings Compleat Anglers! Here is the fishing report for June 1st. Fishing has remained strong in Connecticut and Catskill rivers and in Long Island Sound, but fresh-water anglers should pay close attention to river conditions and water temperatures in both Catskill and Connecticut rivers.

Here's the Fishing Report for May 14th.  Connecticut and Catskill NY rivers are in great shape. The recent rains (with a little more scheduled today) have kept flows at a healthy level while still allowing for good wading and floating. On the Farmington and Housatonic, there have been Hendricksons, Rusty Spinners, BWOs, and especially caddis (both olive and tan.)
