Southwest Catskills 10/6

Drove 3 hours north from the city and carhopped a few Delaware River tributaries. Water was low, even on all the big rivers.

7.5ft 3wt w/ 5X (?) leader. Green chubby Chernobyl dry and bead head droppers about 14” down. All like size 14-18. Started with a pheasant tail soft hackle then switched to hare’s ear. Only had one slap at the dry and miss. Everything hit the nymphs.

Lost a few droppers because I was clinching to the hook, but it’s barbless so kept slipping off. After I figured that out I started dropping from the eye of the chubby and that solved it.

Caught lots of trees but managed to pull a few rainbows too!
