After a soggy weekend the river has recovered nicely. Water is clear, dropping and is in great shape. The cloud cover should help one get closer to fish, just bring a rainjacket in case they open up. Dry fly fisherman rejoice! Cicada patterns are a good bet in the morning. Small green bodied caddis, like X-Caddis and Henryville Specials sized #16-18 are taking quite a few fish between hatches of Sulphurs.Most of the Sulphurs have been coming off between 2:30 and 4:30 PM The warmer evenings this week should allow for great spinner falls starting around 7:30 PM till dark.

The gauge is still down but everyone has found the river level to be ideal for dry fly fishing. Water temps have been between 54 and 60 degrees throughout the catch and release area. With Rain in the forecast make sure you bring a jacket this weekend and enjoy some of the best fishing of the season. We had a group in today that picked up lots of fish at Masemore on #10-#6 Cicadas in the morning and #14-#16 Sulphurs in the afternoon and evening. Caddis have been working between hatches and a #16 or #18 is about right. Note: Thanks to Jason du Pont …

Even after the rain the river is in great shape.Sulphurs have been coming off between 2:30 and 3:30 PM., we’re seeing lots of #14-16 sized flies. If you’d like to fish spinners, spinner falls have been steady just about every evening starting around 7:30 PM. Caddis and caddis emergers such as the #18 X-Caddis have been working great between hatches. A few Big Browns were caught above Falls Rd. this week on Cicada patterns –so look out if you’re a 4″ Rainbow. Note: All of the recently stocked rainbows were approximately 4″ long and all had their adipose fin clipped for identification purposes.

These fishing reports were to good to keep to myself…Thanks to Russ and Greg for submitting them for all to enjoy. Theaux, Hit the GP at Monkton Rd. on Saturday night. The night started out with a few fish taken in the tailouts with a partridge and green off a size 16 brown caddis. At about 7:00 pm, the supher (duns) really started to become active. I brought a few more to net on a # parachute sulpher pattern. At 9:00 I landed my last fish. I was standing underneath a big open pool and had spotted a few fish sipping spinners. I put on …

You heard it here first folks… Tuesday DNR stocked the section between Falls Rd. and Prettyboy Dam with Rainbows. The river is in great shape and Jeff Lewatowski, just back from a guide trip this morning, reported some 12″ -16″ Browns taking Cicadas. It’s certainly hot enough for consistent Spinner Falls the next few evenings-get out and fish, and stay tuned for more info.

What a beautiful noise… just think about how much weight those Browns will put on in the next few weeks. Water temp is 59 F and the river is nice and clear and at a great level for wading. Our Cicada patterns have been working great. Let me tell you about the Sulphurs. Sulphurs and Caddis #14-16 have been coming off sporadically throughout the day with the greatest activity from 3 PM on. If you’re thinking about leaving early from work you are not alone. We’ve found alot of fish this week in skinny riffles with soft hackles and emergers from mid-morning till afternoon . …
