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.)

Greetings Compleat Anglers! Finally the sun has broken through once again! With warmer air temperatures, there should be some great fishing weather over the next couple of weeks. Both Connecticut and Catskill rivers are in great shape and nicely wadeable. Water temperatures are still in the high 40's through the low 50's, so perfect for both dry and nymph activity.

Those of us whose hearts are in the Catskills and were patiently awaiting spring on the Delaware River system, wait no longer! At the moment, due to rain yesterday and last night, all three branches are high and mostly unwadeable with water temps in the mid-40s. There have been black and brown Stoneflies, Blue Quills, Olives, Quill Gordons, and even scattered reports of an early Hendrickson or two.
