From what I've observed, Family is very important to all fly fishers... May your son's and daughters pick up the rod and may you have many happy days a stream with them. (I'm fortunate that fly fishing has become a family affair!)

Lordville at 75 degrees.. Lower WBD continues to be near 72 (as judged by the Hancock gage). All this when NYC reservoirs are essentially at normal fill and filled. 95.5% actual vs 96.8% normal filled. More incredible, precip near normal as well for the Spring (From NYC's own web site see...

We have some recent encouraging news from Paul Rush (see below). NYC appears to be willing to consider a thermal relief protocol for the fishery. Encouraging to see that those speaking up and working for the fishery have had a little success. While this is only a statement, and we need to see...

Just heard a report that the measured temp in Junction Pool was over 70 Degrees. It's over on the Main, the lower West and East until we get rain, cooler ambients or higher releases and a better flow plan. Don't count on the later.

Gently down the WBD, horribly, horribly, horribly .... Change in release sept 1 coupled with Montague manipulation a?

Some of you follow the flow plan closer than I do. Can someone explain what flow plan the release clowns are following?

Me? 1) Dry fly to sighted fishing trout 2 ) Same 3) Same 4) Streamer 5) nymph 6) swinging a wet

Just wondering what are the go to rods for the Delaware? I've used a 5 wt GLX Classic for years there. Recently I found a excuse to get another rod so I tested a number of 6 wts. A little more distance for the main and more power for the wind. I tossed a number of the more recently highly...

Fuck Pronger. There.... I said the truth.

OK with spring approaching and AJ's great report... time to get serious about fishing. Many of us have gone to fishing all those fancy emerger patterns without upright wings. I was on another board and some professed there is no need to fish dry patterns/emergers on top with any pronounced...

Thought I would re post a link to a great article on Sulphurs. This article is great and shows the extent of of the anglers deep knowledge on the topic. Here it is Sulphur's

A professor at Duke University was giving a lecture on 'Involuntary Muscular Contractions' to his first year medical students. Realizing this was not the most riveting subject, the professor decided to lighten the mood slightly. He pointed to a young, attractive, woman in the front row and...

Ryan.. I fish the Lehigh but infrequently. From what I know most of those bows and browns in the Lehigh are stocked fish. I have heard that there has been some discussion about letting water out beneath the dam to create a tailwater fishery. Can you update us this and other positive...

Hi all. Looking for a couple of good web sites with Jersey Shore fishing reports. Particularly interested in surf fishing in particular the Sandy Hook area. Going to get out a few weekends with some buddies.

I thought the Montague Minimum was 1750CFS at this time of year. I am correct about this? If the target is 1750CFS, over the last ten days, the flows at Montague have been below this minimum for 6 days. Most recently 4 days in a row. With the forecast that we've had of no rain with almost...

Recently caught a marvelous trico spinner fall on the lower WBD. Lots of bugs in the water and rising fish. Best I've personally seen for this river. Wondering if some of you who fish the WBD more than I do think the trico's were particularly good this year on the West Branch of the Delaware?

Anyone know planned releases? Montague is heading toward 1400 CFS (well below the minimum), PPL doesn't seem to be generating, no mongap releases seem to be going on. Cannonsville release is continuing at 100CFS. Don't see significant release out of Peapacton, Neversink either. What the...

Progress. Yesterday morning fished a spot having gotten a tip by a local. Saw carp cruising around in a pool! Some of them were quite large. Tried all sorts of flies, mymphs and streamers but they would not take. Didn't seem to be feeding. Funny the most interest a fish showed was where...

Yes this angler is coming out today. Well not exactly. A couple of years back I admitted the unthinkable to other members on this board. I have a hankering for Carp. A long time hankering for Carp. Carp on the fly that is. Well I took the first step today to act on my impulses. I walked...
