first outting

Hit the river for the first time of the season, this past weekend before the big rains came. It was a beautiful day. Almost 70 and sunny, getting to fish in a t-shirt in march is a real joy. The fish was slow, moving just a few fish on streamers and seeing some extremely sporadic heads. it was a great first trip!

WOW!!
what a beautiful day in CNY as i type the thermometer reads a balmy 45 deg. warm days like today make us all wish that spring wasn't a month away, it was NOW. Have a buddy out on the mainstem today looking for some early stones, hopefully he will have some good news for me!

either way I have been spending a lot of time dreaming about the early season hatches that will make the upper delaware come alive. Paraleps, Quill Gordons, Hendricksons, and apple caddis are just around the corner; not to mention the early stones which I'm sure are already flopping about.

stick with me and I'm sure i will have some good news to share with you within the next 30 days. RISING FISH!

new rod

i am trying to decided what equipment i want to buy for the up coming season.

i am between a sage Z axis 9' 5wt or a 9' 6wt
and a nice rio line for it.

its almost time.... cant wait

i hear the boys who are down on the D already have taken some fish on streamers!!

Wow long time no post.

Have had a crazy fun fall and winter in Pulaski NY fishing for salmon as well as steelhead. A good salmon run this year, was followed by red hot steelhead fishing, however the unseasonable dry fall has left us with low water conditions, and tough fishing. However I am still catching fish. My days are now winding down in Pulaski as I am starting to gear up for my return to the Delaware. Tying flies and working on licenses will keep me busy from now until then.

I will post some pictures of some of the flies that i come up with in the coming weeks.

FISH ON!

Transition

My last few days at the DRC are winding down, and I am getting ready to head north to chase the mighty fish of the great lakes. I will be posting some pictures from time to time if i catch some good fish. If you need to know anything about the salmon river feel free to email me or stop in to Fat Nancy's where I will be working during salmon season.

Its been a fun year, lets hope my salmon season is just as good.

low water :(

The West Branch release is 350 hopefully tonight's forecast comes true and we get the inch of rain they are calling for. Thankfully we havent seen any 90 degree heat yet this summer so temps are still not to bad. Sulphur fishing up top has been good and will be very good during the month of July. Huge fish eating small bugs is sure fun...

Fishing has been red hot! simply put that is all you need to know. Hopefully the rain continues and the res. starts to spill again. This summer has made me enjoy 1500cfs+. The fishing is so much better!
