ROSS EVOLUTION LT RAINBOW TROUT REELS – NOW IN STOCK AT A.A. OUTFITTERS
Friday, July 23rd, 2010FLY FISHING CONDITIONS – POCONOS, LEHIGH RIVER 7-6-10
Wednesday, July 7th, 2010WELL, THERE’S NOT MUCH POSITIVE TO SAY ABOUT FISHING CONDITIONS HERE IN THE POCONOS THE FIRST WEEK OF JULY. A NEARLY RECORD-SETTING OR RECORD SETTING HEAT WAVE AND TOTAL LACK OF RAINFALL THE PAST FEW WEEKS HAS CAUSED EXTREME LOW AND “HOT” WATER. WE’RE SEEING WATER LEVELS AT THE LOWEST WE’VE EVER SEEN, WITH MANY “MEDIUM” SIZED STREAMS LIKE THE TOBYHANNA, UPPER LEHIGH AND BROADHEADS RUNNING AT 26 TO 50 CFS. WATER TEMPERATURES DURING THE DAY ON MANY STREAMS LIKE THESE ARE IN THE 80S. SOME POCONO STREAMS ARE REGISTERING WATER TEMPS OF 81 TO 86 DEGREES F.
OBVIOUSLY WE’RE NOT OUT FISHING MUCH THESE DAYS AND WE’RE HOPING FOR RAIN AND A COOL-DOWN. A FEW “FISHABLE” AREAS ARE THE LEHIGH BELOW THE DAM, THE LOWER LACKAWAXEN, THE WEST BRANCH OF THE DELAWARE. THESE AREAS HAVE COOLER WATER TEMPERATURES DUE TO CONTROLLED WATER RELEASES.
WE STILL HAVE A FEW ROSS LIMITED EDITION EVOLUTION LT RAINBOW TROUT REELS AVAILABLE. CALL A.A. OUTFITTERS TOLL FREE 800-443-8119 OR STOP IN THE SHOP, IN BLAKESLEE, PA.

Thursday, June 24th, 2010We’re in “Summer mode” here in the Poconos. Most Fly Fishing activity is early mornings or evenings. Very low water conditions persist and hot weather has raised many stream temps into the 70s. Evenings are most productive in the Lehigh below the Dam with fish feeding on the surface. Small spinner patterns, little BWO wets and yellow stoneflies have been productive.
For more info, see us at A.A. Outfitters in Blakeslee, Pa. or call 800-443-8119.
Just a reminder that the Ross Evolution LT Rainbow Trout limited edition fly reels are still available. Call 800-443-8119 to order and reserve one of these reels.
