I'm running up to the West Branch tomorrow for some tailwater dry fly fishing.

cold spring creek is on fire rite now from what I was told. Im heading back up on friday

just came from Hancock NY upper delaware river. water was 64 degree's even in this heat wave. So cool & refreshing





averaged about 12 a day for 4 days I was there

I fish for wild browns in the summer up in Deposit & Hancock NY Upper Delaware river. Water temps remain in the lower to mid 60's all summer long

Is it killing the fish?

No, but they don't want you to eat them right now out of that lake. Same for Spruce Run.

Like I would eat anything out of either one of those "ponds"..

Im with you on that..... . besides who eats freshwater fish ....Yuk

Fishing @ Penwell is a joke. Everyone is almost grilling & drinking. Trash being thrown everywhere is disgusting also

Nice fish! Are the lures blacked out in 2 of the 3? The 'ol Titties-on-a-peep-show-poster special?

Yes. I had posted those pictures on another site that wasnt C&R friendly

KLG was 67 at 12:30 yesterday(Monday) 68 at 2:00 when I left...the next two days aren't going below 70 at night, we may get some rain to cool, but keep a thermometer handy!!:) leave the trout alone until next week when I plan to run up to the West Branch for the sulphur and Iso hatches. Upper Delaw...

https://i.imgur.com/QnDCoQb.jpg I have a question. If a fisherman hooks a trout in general regulation water. Then the trout runs into protected catch & release water. Is he allowed to keep the trout after he lands or nets it ?. A question I always wundered ? As I fish teh Gorge sometimes & see guys...

A spinning rod for the win

I went for a hike this morning in the Black River State Park. I didn’t realize it was opening day... in my travels, I walked past no less than 20 people occupying a single 200 yard stretch where the river turns along State Park Road. Not a single person had more than 100 square feet of river themse...

Nice lunker Troutman

Thk U

Got this baby there today

I'm sure a lot of those guys catch and release in that section , but I grew up fishing that strech and when I was a kid from the dam down to Hoffman's I just remember every one had a stringer on they're side clankin around , and I still associate that image with that stretch even though like you sa...

I don't disagree with you , but if you are new to Fly-fishing , the pressured fish , crowded stream, forces you out of your comfort zone and makes you a better fisherman . I agree to what you say. You really have to be on top of your game somewhat to catch fish in KLG. Those trout have experience &...

I find the stretch Pre-KLG to be more enjoyable to fish. From Shannon's down to the bridge. Yes its not C&R protected. But 99% of the guys release the fish anyway. & Shannon's stock alot of niceeee fish in there for all to enjoy. I lmao sometimes when I see most of the guys down in the KLG :shock: l...

KLG is over rated imo. Those trout there are pounded on a daily basis. The trout must get tired of getting a new hook into mouth everyday. Maybe 2-3 times a day. Ive watched as many as 10 guys fish the same exact spot after each other. Yes. The place is picturesque. But between the dog walkers that ...
