Current Flows.... With these water temps, experience is the key for moving these stubborn winter fish. Some Fresh Steel continues to show in the DSR with these recent higher flows. When looking for more aggressive fish, spend some time in the DSR as here may be your best bet for locking up on the swing. The rest of the river, the bite on the swing continues slow and and erratic with the recent flows and water temperatures. Water temps remain in the low 30's. There are fish from top to bottom but many are in their stubborn winter mode.
A Keen Eye with good polarized sun glasses for protection and to spot active fish are must. These will also help you decide on how to approach feeding fish and safe wading.
Experience is the key for traditional fly and spey fishing added success. During the winter months and colder water, patience is a must as takes may be subtle at times and look for more soft pulls on the hangle, so position yourself strategically in the river. Allow me help you become a better angler. Watch for scheduled fly and spey classes and schools in the area, or call and set up a personalized day of instruction and a wade or float fly & spey fishing trip.

A
properly presented
offering that is drifted directly into their cone of
vision
will almost always trigger a take or a strike.
There were plenty of fish up river in a 1/2 mile
stretch, let's use the number 300 for instance. Now
figure
a conservative kill of 20 per day,
that's 200 dead and gone in less then 2 weeks.
Leaving
100 fish or less. Help preserve our fishery by not
killing
the fish steelhead & salmon!
Be Safe and have fun
while learning something new every time out! |

Fishing Report: 01/24/12

Current Flows: Speaking with a few reliable fly fishermen and they say it's tough at best, the same as I find it. If you'd like to fish with me during this time of year, I may go out with you on a nice day, no pay, just some fishing time on the water and all for a hot cup of coffee! Finding time on low flows is the key with some midge dry fly fishing opportunities. Deep water streamer and bugger stripping is also an option for waking up a brown trout.
Flies for mid to late summer, that are proven fish getters, are the dry crane, adams wulffs, black ants and stimulators. Wets are wooly buggers, larger soft hackles and spider flies in natural colors. With cooler air and water temperatures, it's that time of the season the trout will start to bulk up for the winter hold over time.
Summer Time Fishing requires adjustments to be made in presentation and depths. When there are no rising trout or swirls just beneath the surface, go deep from mid morning into early evening and then change up your tips to raise your fly into the upper 1/5 of the water column or full float to approach risers. Once you find the proper depth zone for that area, stay with it!
A Keen Eye with good polarized sun glasses for protection and to spot active fish are must. These will also help you decide on how to approach feeding fish and safe wading.
Experience is the key for added success, especially this time of the season. Allow me help you become a better fly fisherman. Watch for scheduled fly and spey classes and schools in the area, or call and set up a personalized day of instruction and a wade or float fly fishing trip.
Help sustain a good Massachusetts fishery by reporting violations at 1-800-632-8075 or "Report a Poacher".
Wanting to feel the strike from a trout all the way through your body, looking challenge yourself while fly fishing, then give me a call and learn the art of tight line fishing. Cover more water effectively while learning single and 2 handed casting and spey fishing. All Hardy and Greys fly and spey equipment is available for you to use during your outing. Advance your current fly fishing abilities and learn fly presentations that will allow you to catch more fish when the fly fishing gets tough.

Fishing Report: 08/31/11 |
Current Flows:Fishing will be fair ay best.
Expect beautiful scenery and maybe even a trout or two mixed in. The trout population took a significant hit during the long hot and dry July and early August. I'd personally like to give them a break until September. This may be a good time to dry fly fish with the hooks cut off, a great way to practice your presentation with the excitement of a trout taking your fly, with out a drawn out fight,, no stress no harm done. Enjoy and help protect our local fisheries.
Once this river flow recedes to 90 cfs and less, the fish mortality will rise with every hook up so I recommend to fish elsewhere. Wait on cooler temps and rain fall to improve this fishery, the Deerfield continues to fish well as well as the Swift in Belchertown.

Chatham Area: Hard northeast wind the other day brought drove of fish onto the rips, we have June fishing in August.
by Capt.Tony Biski
Read and be sure to
understand the tide charts and water heights. A
must is to
ask local shops about safety issues on your planned
fishing
spot. Good planning can result in a fun and safe
trip. Pick
the tides you want to fish. Good Luck and fish
smart! If
you’re new to the Cape or a seasoned angler,
PFD’s are good investment to insure your
safety for
future fishing and be sure to scope out the area in
the
daylight to see what hazards you may be up against.
