Fished the river again yesterday from 3-9pm. Wow, what crowds! Kayaks, canoes and fishermen alike. Most were quite courteous, but I did finish the night with a fellow (I noticed he had a NY plate) barely 30 feet downstream from me, and he was constantly casting to my fish...I kept my cool, there were too may fish to be had.

Hatch-wise I saw large and small sulfurs and Olives, a few Isonychia and a few Potamanthus. The heaviest hatch was of the size 18 sulfurs (dorothea) after about 8pm. This year has produced the best sulfur hatch we have seen in a while. There were many rising fish, but all quite challenging. You must fish at least a long section (4ft) of 6X or even smaller. It was a real free-for-all during the heavy hatch, fish rising and even the mallards feeding on the bugs. A beaver came to investigate too. Mosquitoes were not bad at all.

You must be creative with your fly selection, try everything. I missed a bunch and my buddy broke one off, but we both landed quality fish. My best fish came to a size 20 rusty spinner. I only caught one salmon parr and did not see a lot of small splashy rises.
