PA. FISH COMMISSION ANNOUNCES FALL TROUT STOCKING SCHEDULE 9-23-2011

Friday, September 23rd, 2011

ALTHOUGH THIS SEASON WASN’T AMONG THE “BETTER” ONES AS FAR A FISHING CONDITIONS GO, MAYBE FALL TROUT STOCKING CAN SAVE THE SEASON FOR SOME OF US. WE’VE HAD MORE THAN 15 INCHES OF RAIN THIS SEPTEMBER WHICH MADE FOR TOUGH OR IMPOSSIBLE FISHING CONDITIONS AND GUESS WHAT …. IT’S RAINING NOW, AGAIN. IF WE CAN GET A BREAK IN THE WEATHER, FALL TROUT FISHING MIGHT BE OK WITH FALL STOCKING OF MANY AREA STREAMS. THE FALL 2012 TROUT STOCKING SCHEDULE CAN BE FOUND ON THE PA. FISH AND BOAT COMMISSION WEBSITE. GENERALLY, OUR AREA TROUT STREAMS HERE IN NORTHEAST PA. WILL BE STOCKED AROUND THE FIRST WEEK OF OCTOBER.

STOP IN A.A. OUTFITTERS FLY SHOP FOR LATE SEASON / FALL FLY PATTERNS LIKE: OCTOBER CADDIS, BEADHEAD SUBMERGERS, BEADHEAD PHEASANT TAILS, EGG PATTERNS, HOPPERS AND BETTLES, WOOLY BUGGERS, BLUE WINGED OLIVES. CALL A.A. OUTFITTERS 800-443-8119. VISIT OUR WEBSITE AT www.aaoutfitters.com FOR SOME GREAT END-OF-SEASON CLOSEOUT SPECIALS.

FISHING CONDITIONS – NORTHEAST PA. 9-8-2011

Friday, September 9th, 2011

WE HAVE DEVASTATING, UNPRECEDENTED FLOODING HERE IN NORTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA. WITH NEAR-RECORD OR RECORD RAINFALL HERE THE PAST FEW WEEKS, THERE REALLY IS NO FISHING IN NORTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA TO SPEAK ABOUT FOR AWHILE. YOU KNOW THINGS ARE “BAD” WHEN JIM CANTORE FROM “THE WEATHER CHANNEL” IS ON TV, STANDING NEXT TO THE SUSQUEHANNA RIVER YESTERDAY (WHICH WAS 39 FEET ABOVE NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF THE YEAR), AND SAYS “I CAN’T STAND HERE MUCH LONGER BECAUSE THE SMELL OF DEISEL FUEL AND OTHER CHEMICALS IN THE RIVER IS TOO STRONG”. IT WILL BE A FEW WEEKS HERE BEFORE ANYONE THINKS ABOUT FISHING.

BEST WISHES TO ALL MY CUSTOMERS AND FRIENDS AFFECTED.

FLY FISHING CONDITIONS FOR THE POCONOS, LEHIGH RIVER 8-19-2011

Friday, August 19th, 2011

WATER CONDITIONS AND WEATHER ARE PRETTY GOOD HERE IN THE POCONOS. WE ARE IN THE “END OF SUMMER” MODE WITHOUT MUCH IN THE WAY OF HATCHES BUT WATER LEVELS AND TEMS ARE GOOD. i BELIEVE THERE IS A WHITEWATER RELEASE SCHEDULED FOR THE LEHIGH THIS WEEKEND.

FISH TERRESTRIALS LIKE HOPPERS, BETTLE AND ANTS. MIDGES AND SMALL BEADHEADS CAN ALSO BE EFFECTIVE. A GOOD ALTERNATIVE THIS TIME OF THE YEAR IS SMALL STREAM BROOK TROUT FISHING AND SMALLMOUTH BASS FISHING IN THE SUSQUEHANNA.

CALL A.A. OUTFITTERS FOR MORE INFO 800-443-8119 OR STOP IN THE SHOP IN BLAKESLEE. WE HAVE LOTS OF CLOSEOUTS THIS TIME OF THE YEAR!
