About these charts
Each river page shows a 12-row × N-column hatch grid (month × active patterns), live water temp and flow from USGS streamgages, the top 3 fly picks for the current month, and FAQ-style answers to the questions we get asked most.
Hatch data is hand-curated from local fly shop calendars (UpCountry, Housatonic River Outfitters) plus our own logs. If something's off, tell us.
