Meet Capt. Jeff Becker Saturday. Jeff is on the Scott Pro-Staff and was recently featured on ESPN2. He runs a 23 ft Seacraft out of Orient Point, NY and has put us on serious Albies, Blues and Stripers in the past years. He ties some beautiful flies, and his patterns were just published in the Art of Angling Journal so stop in Saturday morning till Noon and say hello.
At 636 CFs you can bet that there is a fair bit of water spilling over the top of the dam. The river will continue to drop through the week. The water temperature should be up around 45 F by the weekend. If you’re getting out Thursday or Friday of this week, you should see some active fish looking for dries.

Stoneflies, a few caddis and an olive bugger are on the menu. Use the trails as much as you can and enjoy it.Most of the fish are still holding in faster water and a 9ft to 12 ft leader will really help present the fly properly. Note: We just checked in 35 lbs of rods from St. Croix…
We’ve been waiting for a day like this all week. Flow is at 120 CFs and the river is clear and warming from 40 F. Be sure to check out any log jams or deadfalls while you’re out in the sunshine. Stoneflies crawl out on these before lifting off.Most of the activity we’ve seen this year has been between Bunkerhill and Big Falls Rd in shallow riffles.Try fishing patterns in a range of #14-16 down and across.
