Maramec Springs 7-19

Thanks all. Those pics don't do justice to the average size of the fish in the springs now, like Seth mentioned.

I should be posting another report soon. I will be going sometime in the next few days.

Thanks for the info- I was always hesitant to wade in amongst the bait fishermen because:- 1. I'm a fly fisherman too and didn't know if the fish would strike a fly and 2. didn't know if the spinn fishermen would tolerate a long-poler in them. I went below the bridge and did well last year, but the access was limited.

There are times normally in the afternoon to evening when the bug activity increases those fish will go ater flys more than anything else. The fish have seen so much bait and normal trout park tackle...they wise up. But if you watch them closely they are munching on bugs, first subsurface, then to the top. Don't be afraid to use 7X-8X floro. And hook sizes #18 - #22. A lot of #20 & #22 WD40's.

You just have to watch your backcast because there are families walking around, its vaca time.
