From the benchWith 50°F water and gin-clear flows at 60.8 CFS, trout will be tight to the bottom in the deeper runs and pools — especially early when overnight temps dipped to 31°F. Start with a tungsten nymph like the Frenchie or Pheasant Tail set 1.5 to 2 times the water depth below your indicator, and slow your drift down in the flats. As the sun climbs and temps push toward the afternoon high of 59°F, watch the flat water carefully for rising fish during the BWO window between 11 AM and 2 PM — switch to a size 22 dry or emerger and extend your tippet to at least 24 inches of 6X for the clear-water presentation the Neversink demands. Wading is technical on this river; use a wading staff and take your time repositioning so you don't blow up the run.
