FLY FISHING CONDITIONS – POCONOS, LEHIGH RIVER 7-6-10

gercolani — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 18:20:26 +0000

WELL, 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.

FISHING CONDITIONS FOR THE POCONOS, LEHIGH RIVER 6-24-10 / ROSS EVOLUTION LT RAINBOW TROUT REELS

gercolani — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 14:11:09 +0000

We’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.

FISHING CONDITIONS FOR POCONOS / LEHIGH RIVER 6-9-10

gercolani — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 13:16:04 +0000

LACK OF RAIN HAS MEANT LOW WATER CONDITIONS FOR THE PAST WEEK OR TWO HERE IN THE POCONOS. THANKFULLY IT HAS BEEN COOL THE PAST FEW DAYS. FISHING HAS BEEN GOOD FOR THE PAST FEW DAYS, MAINLY EARLY IN THE MORNING OR IN THE EVENINGS. BLUE WINGED OLIVES, SULPHURS, YELLOW STONEFLIES, SLATE DRAKES AND CADDIS HAVE BEEN AROUND. SOME GOOD SPINNER FALLS IN THE EVENING.

THE LEHIGH HAS A RELEASE SCHEDULED FOR THIS UPCOMING WEEKEND (12TH, 13TH) BUT RELEASES HAVE BEEN IN THE LOW 200 CFS FROM FRANCES WALTER DAM OTHERWISE, MAKING FOR EASIER WADING AND GOOD FISHING ON THE LEHIGH. SMALLER STREAMS HAVE HAD LOW WATER SO THE FISH HAVE BEEN A LITTLE SPOOKY DURING THE DAYTIME.

GREAT STRIPER FISHING IN NORTHERN MASSACHUSETTS – 6-4-2010

gercolani — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 17:22:20 +0000

Our Striper Guide Barry Clemson has reported GREAT Fly Fishing for Stripers in the Merrimack River / Cape Ann area of Massachusetts. Fish are around in good numbers and better yet …. they’re BIG! Barry has reported quite a few “keeper” sized fish the past week or so.

If you’d like to have a great time with a fantastic Guide, give Barry a call (978)948-3750 or (603)534-0411. I personally can recommend Barry as one of the best Guide in the Massachusetts Northshore area. Book now before everyone finds out how good the fishing is!

FISHING TIP – MATCHING THE HATCH WITH A VARIETY OF FLIES

gercolani — Thu, 27 May 2010 20:26:59 +0000

Here’s a helpful tip when buying or tying flies to match a hatch throughout the fishing season. Let’s say you’re fishing a particular hatch and targeting a fish or several fish. Let’s use a Sulphur for example. Often when there is one or a few fish rising in an area, feeding on Sulphurs, we may pick up a fish or two using a particular pattern. If, for example you caught a few fish on a sulphur parachute, but find that this pattern stops working and fish refuse to eat the fly, you may want to consider simply chnging-up a little. Have a few variations of the Sulphur in your fly box. I often carry 2 or 3 varieties of a same fly, like a Sulphur. In my box I’ll have Sulphur parachutes with cdc loop wings, some extended body parachutes and some thorax style Sulphurs. I catch a fish or two, can’t catch the other few fish I’ve attempted to catch and then switch patterns to mix-it-up a little. This method will very often help pick up an extra fish or two in each instance. This has proven to be very successful for me with most mayfly and caddis patterns. Hope this helps.
