The water is still on the cool side, and water temps in mid 40’s have slowed the fishing down a bit. The river is clear and flowing at 110 Cfs. We’re just starting to hear about a few Hendricksons about…but this week fish have been more apt to take emergers and larger than usual nymphs, (#10-14) than dries.This just in… the Fentons, a father and son team that drove down from Monmouth County, NJ, (along the shore) stopped in to report a half dozen fish on a #14 Adams parachute.. The fish were taking Hendricksons…thanks Eben and Bruce for making the drive down to fish dry flies.

If you’re planning hike up from Falls Rd., flies in the #20-24 range are still worth a shot. A double dry fly rig is best–Just bring along some 7x and spend some time marking fish before you show them something with a hook in it.Tired of nymphing? Hit the log jams and runs with small streamers in the #12-8 range. We have lots of YOY,(young of the year) that are becoming trout food in the shallows and falling prey to larger and smarter fish holding near cut banks and deadfalls.
