The fishing shops are empty and the guide services are idled. But the rivers are open, and that’s where Rob Jagodzinski finds solace during pandemic isolation. The latest AP Virus Diary.
This May 6, 2020, photo, shows a wild brown trout taken on a dry fly from a Catskills river outside Roscoe, N.Y. Fishing shops in Roscoe that should be overflowing with anglers are empty, due to the coronavirus outbreak.
ROSCOE, N.Y. — The Catskills village that calls itself “Trout Town USA” is all but a ghost town this spring. When I arrive at the shore, the river is high, cold and discolored from a storm. Mayflies hatch on the water and drift on the breeze, but no trout rise. Hope springs, so I tie on fly after oddball fly. Beadhead stone nymphs, partridge-and-orange wets, zonker streamers that mimic baitfish. If I had a Rat-Faced McDougal, I would throw it.Out here in the woods, there is at least one reminder of the virus: This river is on a local airport’s approach path. Normally, commuter planes and military transports sometimes break the spell. Now the skies are still, no contrails, only mare’s tails.The river has pitched a shutout.
