Apps for weather and flows

Which do you use? Monitor my stream is my site for flows, but I'm interested in a weather app if anyone has one that they recommend.

Re: Fluke

Most of the time I catch a fish it feels like a fluke. (Rimshot)

Some kind and thoughtful person found boots at the park in Califon. They are of the fly fishing, or at least wading, variety. We'll keep them at South Branch Outfitters until claimed.

Re: Caddis "dry flly"

I mean, specifically, an elk wing caddis. Does anyone choose an elk or deer hair as the ONLY fly to fish. You're standing there, thinking, "now, finally, I can throw that tan elk wing caddis."

Just caddis dry as a go-to top choice favorite solo dry fly.

Anyone?

Caddis "dry flly"

Just a random question...how often do you put on and only fish an elk wing caddis. No dropper. Just a top water elk (or deer) TOP water fly?

Re: Took a bath today in the pequest lol.....

Price we pay. I really make an effort to keep things zipped up. How many phone and packs of smokes lost?!? Gladly, I don't smoke anymore and rarely bring the phone. I find I am a calmer angler if the promise of a fish pick doesn't make me rush to get a fish to net.

Re: WW access

On the musky in Port Murray. WW is Willy's wieners, a now defunct hot dog joint whose demise, I'm sure, has nothing to do with its unappetizing name. The food wasn't great either.

Re: WW access

I saw some tire tracks going down the drive too. Did he officially end the easement? I remember when stocking was stopped, maybe that's my answer.

WW access

Now that willy is selling, and the chain is down, is it legal to fish the former Cliffside park access? Some may know I lived across the street and hit that water frequently. I'm curious to see how it looks after about 4 years.

As testament to Jim's unwavering will, the shop remaims open. The summer hours are slightly reduced on weekends - noon close - but the team is steadfast and moving forward into Shannon's 50th year.

Re: Poe Paddie pointers

Yes, and had a nice time. Multiple fish, browns, one rainbow, a few chub, bass, and a sheep's head! My first fish on the dry, a gentleman on the bank told me, was a fall fish. The camp ground was great including large trout right outside my tent! The Iso were huge. The Sulphur and yellow SF were big...

Re: Poe Paddie pointers

Thanks, all. It's a great place. I caught fish on nymphs and dries, but most came on streamers in the am. Poe Paddy campground has nice fish right in front of the site, but the bigger fish, naturally, were in long pools with some structure and action a mile or so up and down stream. My dry fly casti...
