Well... what a strange weekend.
Wow was it hot! the weather that is. With highs in the upper 80's it felt like late July not like april. In additon to the heat the wind was howling(up stream) on Saturday which made fishing even harder.
Holy caddis flies. The apple green caddis were snowing on the river, that hatch is in full swing. Saw some Hendricksons they are growing in numbers every day...Also saw some fish eating Paralep duns.
I had John and JR who had never fly-fished before. We did a lot of learning and practice of the basic skills needed to catch Upper Delaware trout. On sunday JR hooked his first trout on a fly which was a fun expirences for him, however we dropped the fish right at the boat. Too bad!
I wanted to take some pictures of the blizzard of caddis, however I forgot my camera... damn!
Keep praying for rain! Hale eddy at 191cfs this morning... sickening

Steve I imagine that this weekend was a tough weekend to guide. I hit the East on Sat and saw good surface activity even with the wind. The surface activity lasted for about an hour and a half... fast and furious. The fish were in the shaded areas and the east was so low it made my stomach sick.
ReplyDeleteIt was crowded and people seemed to struggle hooking up with fish. The sheer numbers of the hendricksons mislead the anglers. Regardless of the number of hendricsons the fish were going to town on the Paralep emergers. With the water as low as it was this was difficult to identify.
screw the D until they get some water. They just opened a mexican joint in the Sherwood in Greene, seems like as good a place as any to shoot some gin back and wait for the heat to pass, and I know a cab co. that makes runs to some friendly clubs in Binghamton at night- friendly people there
