The recent rains has helped, water is 50 degrees and fishing is good... Sucker spawn, blue-winged olive emergers are the hot patterns right now.. Midges, Craneflies and some Baetis are hatching...
Delaware River - Shad fishing is still good, as far as fly fishing for them, now would be a good time to be out there... I recently was out for shad on the fly and landed 9... You need a super fast sinking head to get down to them... I use alot of large brightly colored wooly buggers, that I tye...
Salmon River New York - Steelhead all over the upper fly stretch!!!! some fresh ones being caught... This weekend was a great weekend for them... patterns working were sucker spawn, large wooly buggers, and "dry flies". Huge drop backs. Caught mostly males.
This coming weekend ought to be good just about anywhere, with warmer temps on the way... Enjoy Chip... Chip will be sending in his reports on regular basis...
