Terrific end-of-summer weather this week! Highs in the 70s and lows in the upper 40s. No rain in the forecast for the next week. Water is cool and at good levels here in the Poconos. Little BWO, midges and Beetles have been working. Beadheads also productive. The Lehigh below the dam is in good shape with lots of fish. I do believe that there is a water release scheduled for Labor Day Weekend, however. Stop in or call us at A.A. Outfitters in Blakeslee, Pa. Phone 800-443-8119.

POCONOS / LEHIGH RIVER FISHING CONDITIONS 9-1-09
Tuesday, September 1st, 2009FISHING CONDITIONS FOR POCONOS / LEHIGH RIVER / SUSQUEHANNA RIVER 8-21-09
Friday, August 21st, 2009Fishing’s been a bit tough lately. Typical Mid-August conditions … hot, muggy, little in the way of ”hatch” activity. Early mornings or evenings are best bet. Try little BWOs, midges, ants, beetles. Tricos are around in the streams that feature these bugs.
Susquehanna River has been blown-out for the past two weeks because of rain. We had a very good start to Smallmouth Fishing in the Susquehanna but the River got too high for wading and won’t seem to come down.

FISHING CONDITIONS FOR THE POCONOS – 3-24-09
Tuesday, March 24th, 2009I know it’s been awhile since we posted any “fishing conditions” here in the Poconos. It’s not that we forgot to do so ….. it’s simply because there hasn’t been much going on up here asround the Shop. Gone are the “good-old-days” when the Pa. Fish Commission stocked early for Special Reg Waters so we could get some good fishing in, in mid March and Early April. It used to be that we got some early stockings on area Special Regs waters like Mud Run, the Nescopeck, Bowmans, Hickory Run, Tobyhanna, and Harveys Creek in Early March. Now it seems the earliest stockings will be after April first. It might be a good idea to mention this to our good-old Fish Commission. Seems like we keep getting less and less “good opportunities” for fishing. Most years our Guys are out quite a few times by now but not much these days with the lack of early tocking and the weather. Speaking of the weather, it’s March 24 and it is now 23 degrees outside A.A. Outfitters Fly Shop in Blakeslee around noon! That’s another reason why we haven’t been out much … it’s just been COLD! Not too many nice warm days this March with many day’s highs being only in the low 40s and lows in the teens. So, we’ll get right on the “fishing conditions” updates as soon as we start getting out there … hopefuly it will warm-up soon. Meantime, contact our Fish Coimmission and ask why there’s no more early stocking on special regs streams …. it’s our money, why less fishng opportunities? Call A.A. Outfitters for more info 800-443-8119.
