Brook trout RSS

Well…. For a short afternoon trip the bite was HOT! the buggers tricked some larger trout (both the black crack and flashy olive) …. Orange crush was the winning nymph. ESPECIALLY on the swing they really seemed to like the orange crush. Size 14. Grab some for yourself they have been on fire as of late!

Well, another satisfying picture sent in from Ben! He has been putting DSP’S to work! And …. They are definitely working! Nice fish!

Customer Ryan doing well in the Catskills on the DHSH nymph size 14! If they weren’t keying on the dry flies…. They were taking the DHSH! Nice to see Ryan find some success yet again on this pattern and now on his new nymphing setup! Seems like almost weekly pics from Ry on this fly!

Water still a tad high, 46 degrees or so. Despite the conditions I saw a good amount of stoneflies hatch! Even saw a good brown shoot out of the faster water rising to something. If you guys can get water levels under 300CFS and water closer or above 50, I would strongly suggest trying some yellow/orange STIMMYS or some terrestrial type flies (tan fat Albert my favorite). Stonefly nymphs are also working very very well right now. Any size 6-10 rubber mega stone type fly will work well in the main runs!

Well, stuck this beautiful brown up on the Ausable river on my Flashy Olive Bugger. Hookup ratio was down but that same bugger got bumped 6-8 times that day along the faster water! If you guys want an easy way to find a few trout, grab some of those buggers and just let them swing out across the current!
