Fishing Report Upper River

[Sam Potter]

We had a very good day this week in Montauk Park. Several fish were caught with the largest a 4lb brown. A very nice 3 to 3 1/2 rainbow was on but managed to lose the hook just before netting.

The river is very low and very clear. So if you are a sight fisherman, the water is perfect for you. Remember that the flip side is the fish can also see you much better.

The Tricos are still coming off, but in fewer and fewer numbers. Caddis are good late morning and hoppers continue to be the best bet in the afternoon. The cooler temps and early shade on the water brings on an excellent Caddis hatch in the evening, starting about 5:00. They are about a size 18 in brown.
