Great Trip

[trizkid]

my dad, my two buddies, and i went fishing this past week from tues to thurs we camped at montauk. it was a great trip for all of us, the water was perfect as was the weather. we fished both montauk and the upper current but most time spent was out side the park on the upper current. we all did very well, the whole trip. we fished from the park to the boulders everyday, tried baptist for the first time, and fished in the park at the camp ground section and upper flies only section. This might sound weird but iv been fly fishing for proly 2 and a half years now and have never caught a trout on a nymph imitation. Iv tried with no success. well made it a point this trip to do just that and i have to say wow. 90% of all my fish i made happen on nymphs and i realized i just wasnt doing it right before. it was great i believe this trip was my highest number of fish caught so far out of the park. we were losing alot of them just coming unhooked but if we caught every fish that we had hooked for alteat 3 or 4 seconds id say we each would have proly had 25+ fish everyday. what we used that worked was olive nymph size 12-18, olive scud size 14-16, olive zebra midge size 18-22, red beadhead san juan size 12, also pheasant tail, zug bug, hairsear, olive caddis larva, rubber leg stone that at times they were going nuts for, and a olive sculpin that produced my first and only fish at baptist. all in all awsome trip even had a armadillo come through the camp one night.

Glad to hear you had fun and got into fish! The Current's sort of a finicky river- when it's good it's great, and the fishing can be silly. Other days you'll go and...nothing.

Right on!!!! Olive has always been great down there. Besides the nymphs you should try the olive mohair leech or an olive wolly bugger next time down. Great report. Thanks for sharing.
