Heading For Montauk

[hfdhoosier]

Im heading out to Montauk today for 8 days of fishing. Will post report when I get back. Looks like the water is still a little murky, wish me luck. If anyone makes it down, I will have an OzarkAnglers hat on....Gotta plug this great site. Heres a link to a video showing river condition.

ill be down there tuesday at the buzzer through wednesday afternoon. Ill have on a black g loomis hat on and gray simms waders, and an orangish tan vest. Ill keep an eye out but if you see me dont hesitate to yell!

i saw the video and hope the water clears up a little, it clears up pretty quick but i havent seen a flood like that in years so who knows how long its gonna take!

I fished for 8 days at Montauk. Water was up and murky, river has changed alot. By Monday water had cleared considerably but was still murky green. Fishing was tougher than usual, caught fish on light orange glo balls, red san yuan worms, white marabou jigs, copper johns. Keep it big and bright with the murky water. Two friends came with me that had never flyfished and each caught some fish. I met up with NoLuck on Monday, wish I would have had more time to fish with him but was trying to help my buddies catch some fish. We had hail a little smaller than ping pong balls on Thurs night and rain on and off but still plenty of good fishing time. I didnt get outside the park to fish, water up too much, murky, and hard to see the deep wash out holes, maybe next time.

Looks like there is some good structure as a result of the monsoon. I did not know that much about Montauk. Looks like I will be starting over. That keeps things from getting boring!

We fished Montauk last Saturday and amazed at the change of river structure. One feature that I am happy is gone is the tree across from the big rock. Unfortunately it was picked cleaned before we got there.
