Maramec river and park, 5/10/18

I fished the park and river below it yesterday. I caught 6 five rainbows and a tattooed brown on white Wooley Buggers, Partridge and Orange soft hackles and rubber leg stonefly nymphs. I was with a group of eight and the hot fly was definitely the stonefly. three of mine came on this fly. I missed two really good bites on the soft hackle but the brown was on that fly. almost all of the fish came in the morning with just a few in the afternoon. The water was really dingy, it might have been why our catch rate was kind of low.  I was surprised by the few numbers of people I saw in the park. It was easy to get into some of my favorite spots to fish. It was hot in the afternoon but a pretty nice day overall.

I've been meaning to get back out there lately.

I was surprised at the low numbers of people in the park Thursday. There was plenty of room to move around. We went out below the park first and didn't really do all that well. One of the first times out this year that I finished the day with the most fish caught. Not that six is anything to brag about. If we could get there earlier we probably could have a higher total but it's more about the company when we fish in the group.

Kids day is this coming Saturday. There will be plenty of fish in the stream Sunday. I've not been down for a kids day in years, but it sounds like I may actually have a couple buddies that are interested in bringing their kids this year. Hopefully they don't bail on us last minute. I'm excited to see them catch their first trout.
