The East Branch Delaware River in the Catskills Mountains of NY is a gem. The trout are some of the most powerful trout you can catch. Both wild Rainbows and Brown Trout are throughout. It is a Fly Fisherman's paradise.
I euro nymphed the Lower East Branch in early August. The temps were unseasonably cool and the water temps were perfect. I had outstanding luck and caught fish throughout the day. Caught some really large fish (and lost some too!). The bugs used were olive and butano perdigons in a size 16, size 16 generic Walt's worm (natural HE), and a size 18 Stupid Simple Pheasant tail on the dropper.
I give some tips along the way.
Tight lines and enjoy!
