Catskill River 6/12/2007

went back to the same river as last week. i did a lot of scouting and found some very large fish!! i waited to near dark for the insects to show up and ... this time they didnt. the hatch was very sparse at best. there were a few sulphers, iso and olives and even a few egg laying caddis. after waiting in a spot for an hour to see if a larger one rose i got bored and did some " lock and load " dry fly fishing. in forty five minutes i caught eight nice trout all between 14 and 18 inches long. i wish those stupid sulphers would have hatched. i saw a two trout yesterday that were 22" +++. >:( the big fish got me.... but i will be back. the fly of choice was a cdc sulpher sparkle dun in a size 16. when the few spinners fell i was doing well with a yellow poly winged spinner in the same size.

when we going??? Never been there, and want to go.........

as soon as school is over we can go there. we can hit the west branch with nymphs in the morning and hit that on the way back. it will be good because it will cut over an hour off of your drive home. its at its best in the evening going into dark this time of the year. the trout there are spread out and the water is mainly featureless so the best time to go is during a hatch.

Check your voicemail, got in late from Fenway last night sorry for the late call, but that sounds really good....two down many more to go...

here is a fish from last week.
