i had to take the guys from the nymph clinic to the farmington due to the high water at the housatonic. when we got to the church pool parking lot it looked like a park and lock in manhattan not a fishing access. there were over 25 people fishing in church pool. while showing the people at the clinic how to nymph i caught on really nice trout of about 18 inches. i think that the slot that i got the fish out of was one of the only ones that didnt get waded through that day. the greenwoods had about ten guys fishing there. the boneyards had almost ten people in there. there were even people on the other side. it was like opening day. they really need to extend the tma so that the people can be spread out over a greater area and increase angler satisfaction. i heard today that 70 percent of the anglers surveyed are in favor of more c anr r but yet the dep does not take this into account. they go with the 30 percent that want to keep fish. more tma would make for better fishing for everyone.
here is the one from today... thanks ryan for taking the pic!
