Members stanleystreamer314 Posted March 31, 2021 Members Share Posted March 31, 2021 Hello, What is the current condition of the trout habitat in this river? Did the flood of 2017 ruin the ecosystem for these trout? I have also heard that Stripers are a threat. I have tried digging up information about this river online but it seems that there is nothing in regards to trout fishing pre 2017 that suggests it's a fruitful river. What can you guys tell me about this place? it feels like it's best times are over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2sheds Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 I think the trout fishing remains great, but that zone of this river (Rainbow Springs to Patrick Bridge) provides a much different kind of water than the trout sections of the Current, Merrimac, or the spring creeks. The breech in Dawt Mill Dam (several years pre-flood, I believe) has allowed stripers better access upstream, but I don't know that this has really affected the Northfork River trout fishing. Those with experience do not seem to report any issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
