Cross Current Outfitters

Let this be the season you update your fly rod. Stop by and try out rods from Orvis, Sage, Winston, Lamson, and Redington, side by side. Don't take the advice of some social media influencer who's getting paid or just trying to score some free tackle. Make the decision yourself. With every rod purchase, we'll include a free fly line from Rio or Scientific Angler so you can get the most enjoyment from your new rod without having to spend more money. This applies to instore and online sales too.

Rods Have fun on the water with a rod matched for your casting style and purpose. You’ll find high performance big water rods, to rods that make small stream fishing more fun.

We have a week of summer coming before we go back to spring. This will start the early season mayfly hatches of baetis, blue quills, Quill Gordon’s, and Hendricksons to join the already early stoneflies and chimara caddis that have been hatching in water too cold to get the fish really all to excited. It’s a new game now.

National Weather Service

This week will show us how stubborn spring can be.

Check out the balminess forecast to waft in by the weekend. Early stoneflies are out in force, could some early season caddis and mayflies be far behind. Water levels are too high to wade on the West Branch and Main Stem, but the East Branch, Beaverkill, and Willowemoc should be in the game. Check the flow levels on our website to be sure no errant downpour jumped the levels up. We’re open full time for the season, 7 days a week, starting this Friday.
