BELLINGER NICKEL SILVER FLY REELS
Tuesday, June 24th, 2008Product Review – Sage Z Axis 10 weight fly rod
Tuesday, June 24th, 2008I had a chance to use the Sage 1090-4 Z Axis Fly Rod this past weekend for Stripers in Massachusetts. Very Nice! I matched the rod with a 400 grain full sink Streamer Express and a Lamson Litespeed 4 Reel. Seemed about right for this rod. The rod was great. Easy to cast, fast enough and a good feel for the line at all distances. We used flies in about the 2/0 to 3/0 hook size range and the rod casted these with ease. A very light feeling rod and our guide for the weekend was impressed, asking what weight the rod was, surprised that it was a 10 weight!
I caught about 25 Stripers ranging from around 18 to 28 inches in length and the rod was also great for fighting these fish. See these and cast these rods at A.A. Outfitters Fly Shop in Blakeslee, Pa. Give us a call at 800-43-8119 or visit online at www.aaoutfitters.com

Susquehanna River Smallmouth Fishing
Thursday, June 12th, 2008We’ll be hitting the Susquehanna River for Smallmouth Bass within the next few weeks as the River is nice and low and wading conditions are good. Normally the Smallmouth fishing with the Fly Rod really picks-up around July 1. We may start early this year as the water is unseasonably low and warm. Check in with A.A. Outfitters by stopping in the shop in Blakeslee or call 570-643-8000 for fishing updates.
Fishing Conditions – Poconos / Lehigh River 6-12-08
Thursday, June 12th, 2008Water conditions are very low and fishing is a bit tough these days as it’s been VERY HOT with temperatures in the 90s! Best bet is very early or evenings.
Flies for June:
Sulphurs, Cahills, Slate Drakes, BWO, Caddis, Stimulators, Terrestrials, Flying Ants.

Pocono Streams Fishing Conditions 6-5-08
Thursday, June 5th, 2008Fisahing has been very good here in the Poconos. The Lehigh River and its tribs, Lackawaxen, Delaware, Broadheads have been very good, along with most other area rivers. Good water levels and temperatures due to occasional rain and warm/cool weather have been beneficial.
Hatches:
Sulphurs, March Browns, Caddis, BWO.
The Susquehanna River is at a good level for early June. Water there is low and clear, although a little cool for the Fly Rod. We’re hoping water conditions stay the same and fish it in a few weeks.
Stop by A.A. Outfitters here in the Poconos or call us at 800-443-8119 for more information.
