gercolani — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 17:57:17 +0000

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.

FISHING CONDITIONS IN THE POCONOS BY A.A. OUTFITTERS 4-2-11

gercolani — Sat, 02 Apr 2011 14:37:55 +0000

WELL, AFTER A VERY LONG AND VERY COLD WINTER (WE HAD 4 INCHES OF SNOW YESTERDAY, APRIL 1) IT’S TIME TO START THE NEW 2011 SEASON’S FISHING CONDITIONS UPDATES. AS EXPECTED, THERE’S NOT MUCH TO GET EXCITED ABOUT YET, HERE IN THE POCONOS, WITH THE VERY COLD AND RAINY/SNOWY WEATHER LATELY. AIR TEMPS ARE GOING TO BE 25-50 DEGREES THE NEXT FEW DAYS (THAT’S GOOD FOR THE PAST FEW WEEKS) AND THERE IS STILL SNOW ON THE GROUND MAKING FOR VERY COLD AND SLIGHTLY HIGH WATER. BECAUSE OF THE BAD WEATHER, THERE HAVEN’T BEEN MANY OF US OUT FISHING YET.

ON THE POSITIVE SIDE, IT’S SUPPOSED TO WARM-UP THE NEXT WEEK OR SO WITH HIGHS AROUND 60 PROJECTED FOR NEXT WEEK. IF THIS IS THE CASE WE SHOULD START FISHING THE END OF NEXT WEEK AND THINGS SHOULD PICK-UP.

EARLY SEASON FLY PATTERNS FOR THE POCONOS ARE: BLUE QUILLS AND QUILL GORDONS, LITTLE BLACK CADDIS AND LITTLE BLACK STONEFLIES, GRANNOMS, TAN CADDIS. WOOLY BUGGERS AND BEADHEAD NYMPHS ARE ALWAYS GOOD EARLY IN THE SEASON IN COLD WATER. OUR A.A. BEADHEAD SUBMERGERS ARE A GREAT PATTERN HERE IN THE POCONOS.
