Fishing Conditions 7-27-07
Things are a little slow in the Poconos as is typical for mid-summer. Low water conditions make it tough along with the lack of prolific hatches in the summer. The Lehigh River, below the dam has been fishing OK. Light Cahills, Slate Drakes, little BWO and midges are best bet “hatch-wise”. Terrestrials are also working.
The Susquehanna River has been FANTASTIC for the past few weeks with “numbers-caught” for a few hours of fishing being in the 20s. Casting to rising fish, we’ve been catching most of our Smallmouth on our small poppers. The latest rain put a stop to the great fishing in the Susquehanna and we just hope the fishing will resume as the water level drops back to where it was.
