i fished there too with none on the fly rod while catching only five on the spinning rod with a white jig. I can never find any big ones during the catch and keep season for some reason... Any tips on how to spot them Bman?
Im thinking about going down to maramec tommorow but am not sure what the water level is like. Does anyone know how high it is? I heard that it would prbably be really high.
Here in Illinois, at a local lake i fished i would use dog food and throw it out and wait until i see the carp come up and start eating it. Then with my fly rod i would cast out a pellet fly with one piece of dog food on it and catch some big ones! At night i would also throw out popcorn with a piece of popcorn on one of my pellet fly's and catch even bigger ones! Lots of fun on a fly rod!
it will be my first time fishing Montauk on opening day, so i was wondering what lures/flies produce the most fish on opening day. Thanks and good luck out there on Sunday!
fish the begining of the fly fishing only section there are a 3lb, 7lb, and 10lb trout in there! I almost got the 7lbr to bite on a white jig but he would sniff it and then swim off! Great fishing in there though! And also use a globall with split shots a foot ahead of it! Most of my fish were caught on that rig! Good Luck
it is a big difference between maramec and montauk but my most productive has been a black Zebra Midge, use it under a scud and an indicator and your good to go
wow i rember seeing an absolutely huge brown(didn't think it was a trout at first right outside the shoot) at one time and she came up and nibbled the tail out of my hand tyed mouse pattern! I have seen the fish and it is a beast but i didn't see it on opening day when i went to montauk. *shoot* on the picture of the one above, i was just wondering are you able to fish at night in teh c+r area...if so taht would be SWEET!
it is a Cortland fly rod and reel and it says on the warranty that it is guaranteed breakage or manufactuers defects for 1 year up. It has been about 2 years since i got it. I want to buy a rod that is 120 dollors or less with a great warranty if possible. and what size then. the broken one i have now i believe is a 5 or 6 weight. I will mostly just be fishing for trout. Thanks for the help
