decided to try montauk and glad i did. will post pics soon but to sum it up i had 3 lunkers. weighed one on boga grips at 9 lbs, had another guy weigh another at 7 lbs and also had one other that i dint weigh but probably went 7 lbs as well

great day to be fishing. will definitely be going back. just wish i had more time to fish the whole part. it is a great park and i didnt realize how much good fly water it had.

dont even know what holes i was fishin but i was fishin so i guess thats all that matters

(at least i found my way back home..well.. i guess??)

What type of flies and size leader were you using to get those fish? Also, were you fishing riffles, pools, or something in between? Trying to get as close to the experience as possible. The trout bug has struck again, being so close to the season, and it's slowly consuming my life.

i could tell you really everything you would want to know about the park and the good stretches and areas that hold the big fish. Montauk is by far my favorite park, and been there regularly since i was couple weeks old.

what parking lots did you fish near and or landmarks? I havent had the chance to go down lately but there but i usually catch 4+ lunkers every trip for c&r. It sure is alot of fun!

I didn't get out this winter to fish montauk, in fact, i haven't really been anywhere since early July. But, when I go, I usually fish the fly only area from the first hole (below the springs, second lot from springs?) Then I fish the riffles (and some holes) all the way down to the take out above the dam hole. It's the place with the pool where people clean fish, and the trail takes you back through the handicapped area when you walk out. The riffles are what I mainly focus on, and I fish midges under dries on 6x most of the time, somewhat sightfishing. Any recommendations?

i was fishing from the second parking lot from the spring. caught one right where the parking lot is, one about 150 yards down,(past some fast riffles) where there are 2 big bolders that create a

eddy and the other down another 200 yards where the river just makes

a bin to the right and you can walk on the trail and look down and see just about everything. i was using 6x tippet and scud as a fly.

i know i was fishing in the fly only section when i caught these 3. hope this helps
