FISHING CONDITIONS – NORTHEAST PA. 9-8-2011

gercolani — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 13:39:09 +0000

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.

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!

TROUT FISHING HERE IN THE POCONOS IS IN THE USUAL SUMMER MODE. RIVERS ARE ON THE LOW AND WARMER SIDE AND THERE AREN’T ANY ABUNDANT OR CONSISTANT HATCHES WHICH IS NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF THE YEAR. USE TERRESTRIALS, SMALL BWO AND SLATE DRAKES ALONG WITH SMALL CADDIS AND SMALL BEADHEAD NYMPHS.

THE SUSQUEHANNA HAS BEEN FISHING VERY WELL WITH A LOT OF NICER SIZED FISH THIS YEAR. THE WHITE FLY SHOULD BE ON ANY DAY NOW.
