fishing report

[Sam Potter]

The river is running about normal flow right now, and still a little cloudy. It should get gin clear in the next two weeks, if we don't get any heavy rain. The side creeks, and small springs that are very unnoticeable along the stream are running good flows. So our water tables are back to where they should be for this time of year.

Fishing has been good with all the little stocked browns in the river and with the rainbows that washed down from Montauk park in the last flood. There have been a couple of reports of nice browns of around 5 pounds taken. Unfortunately they were taken out in coolers instead of released. I'm sure that other fish over 18 inches have gone on stringers. Everyone is not a catch and release fishermen, and for most guys, a fish over 3 pounds, is a fish of a lifetime.

The tricos are coming on strong, but the fish are not on them yet...I presume it is because of the late stocking, I don't have any other explanation. I have never seen the fish not rise to this spinner. There are some caddis fluttering around, but not in great numers. The yellow stones are slowing down and the light cahills are still here and there.

The aluminum hatch is going strong, so be aware, especially on weekends.

Fished the Current today and what a day it was, lots of small browns {no matter} and one that was around 16" with color like I have never seen before, just a great day was had by all.

Did catch nice size Bows, your comment Sam about them coming from the park from the flood is the same that my buddy and I discussed.

One SAD note for the day was to see a brown about 5 lbs + floating belly up down the river, really was a sad note to the day!
