Hey guys and gals,
Fished the Shetucket River for almost 2 hrs after work yesterday. Flows were high. Started out in an area called Sandy Beach. Pretty much structureless with the high flows. Managed a Rainbow in the fast water with a Zoo Couger. Went to another spot and managed to hook 3 and landed 2 Rainbows on nymphs. Managed another Rainbow on a Zoo Couger. All in all, not a bad few hours. I will fish this river a little more to learn it. Right in my back yard and it is a big river like the Housy, some say sister river to the Housy. I wonder what the holdover population is there with the warm water in the summer and the high flows from the releases. Caddis were out along with a few march browns. I know they put a bunch of fish in the river but due to the summer warm temps and the releases from the dam, I assume the fish kill could be high. But, the more experience I get on the river, the more I will learn about it. I am heading to Florida today and going out with a guide tomorrow for Redfish, hopefully Tarpon and Speckled Trout. Tight ones all![]()
