Is it too early to skate? Not if you are fishing caddis. The river is at a great level and the water temp is steady at 52 F. A few lucky anglers had fish slashing at caddis patterns this afternoon.With rain in the forecast, plan on fishing Olives mid-week.If you plan on fishing in the next few months, be mindful of redds-Please limit your wading and give the fish a chance!
Note: Redds are cleared areas of gravel that are typically dinner plate sized or larger. They appear throughout the catch and release area and sometimes as far downstream as Glencoe. The fish use these areas for spawning so don’t wade through them or you’ll get coal in your stocking!!!

We’ve had several anglers reporting Ospreys throughout the catch and release area and as far downriver as Monkton.Water level is stable and at 103Cfs it is at a great level for fishing. Olive-bodied Caddis in sizes #16-18 are still working from Falls Rd to Big Falls Rd.Stonefly nymphs are also worth a try. The past week has been great Olive weather but not many fish are rising so try an emerger pattern like a sparkle dun in a #18 instead of a dry for covering flats between Masemore Rd. and Falls Rd.
Note: Need a break from the relatives this weekend? The shop will be closed Thursday and will be open Friday from 10 AM-6PM, and we’ll have regular hours from 10-4PM Saturday and Sunday. Happy Thanksgiving!

Small Caddis #16-18 and BWO’s #18-20 have been very effective mid-day. We’ve had plenty of reports of 12-14″ Browns taking these small dries in back eddies and flats. Streamer fishing around deadfalls and cut-banks can also be productive, (especially above Falls Rd.) so bring along a few light-bright zonkers sized #4-6.
Note: Next time you’re out, try casting your streamers upstream-then strip them back to you before they swing downstream.
