Beaverkill Magic
We recently edited and added this video to our YouTube Channel. Make sure to adjust the video quality to HD. This was captured on one of the most famous trout streams in America, the Beaverkill River. It is located near Roscoe, New York and we experienced it during the last week of July 2012. Read more about our Beaverkill River adventure in our 2012: A Year in Review.

I observed the area and could see a faint ripple coming out of the foam. I still had the emerger on and made a cast to the area of the rise and was greeted by a resounding battle and eventually landed a beautiful 15” brown which I affectionately labeled the blue cheek fatty – it was quite a trout. My mind wandered....If they are that big on the top what lies in the depths of that blockage?....
A notable thrill was the sudden, stout strike and subsequent battle of a truly beautiful 18 inch Brown. That beauty was unexpected but very much appreciated. A new season is beginning and with the amount of trout spotted and caught it looks very bright!
I found the trout today schooled up in pools and very eager to take scuds and nymphs. There were all age classes, nice egg laden females along with several large nicely colored fall run males brought to the net. The bite was consistent.
