River Fishing Reports:05/08/13

Current Flows.... Salmon River: 185 cfs Monday May 6th, water temps reaching 60s and climbing, the steelies are bugging out quickly and the black flies are biting hard. Thanks Jim C. for the therma-cell as this bug deterrent kept the nasty critters at bay, and not one bite. Looking forward to fishing with you again on the Miramichi in July.
Time to say good-bye to the Salmon River, at least until my next two day spey casting school and then Spey Nation VI in Later July.
The Two Day Spey School this weekend went off excellent. The blue bird skies and light breezes for the two days made for easier teaching and allowed for high learning curves for the students. The students came well prepared to learn and it showed by the end of the second day. Students traveled from Massachusetts, W. Virginia and New York for this weekends school.
Time for watching the schedule for what's coming up.
A recent addition is Indian Hollow weekend on the Westfield River in Western Massachusetts on May 18th. Cook outs, chili contest and more fun and events at the campground. Fly fishermen from throughout New England will be traveling for this relaxed and enjoyable weekend of fly fishing, meeting new friends and talking fly and spey fishing with me.

Experience is the key for traditional fly and spey fishing added success. During the winter months and colder water, patience is a must as takes may be subtle at times and look for more soft pulls on the hangle, so position yourself strategically in the river. Allow me help you become the better angler you strive to be. Watch for scheduled fly and spey classes and schools in the area, or call and set up a personalized day of instruction or a wade or float fly & spey fishing trip.

To swing flies effectively, you must understand the conditions! Even more important, you must understand the spey fly, it's profile and the proper speed needed for it's optimal appearance during the presentation.

A
properly presented
offering that is drifted directly into their cone of
vision
will almost always trigger a take or a strike.
There were plenty of fish up river in a 1/2 mile
stretch, let's use the number 300 for instance. Now
figure
a conservative kill of 20 per day,
that's 200 dead and gone in less then 2 weeks.
Leaving
100 fish or less. Help preserve our fishery by not
killing
the fish steelhead & salmon!
Be Safe and have fun
while learning something new every time out! |

 Deerfield River
Fishing Report: 05/15/13

Current Flows:Fishing must be very good here as we had a spey class today and our hookless yarn combinations of hot orange and chartreuse kept getting stuck in the mouths of multiple hungry trout. Great way to introduce spey to the area with unsuspecting trout!
Time to swing wets and soft hackles as there were caddis popping off during late morning too.

Flies & Tips
Spring brings the natural cycle of rainbow reproduction, Walt's Egg, early stones, flesh patterns with an orange/ cheese estaz wrap or two and small pattern egg sucking leaches. Nymphs and wets like the pheasant tails and hare's ears are beginning to produce erratically as this season too is off to an early start with the hatches. Streamers such as the Mickey Finn and Black Nosed Dace swung slowly in to holding and gravely areas will also be a good bet. After the spawn, these rainbows will turn to larger meals, wooly bugger time. Egg Patterns and Early Stone Fly Information click here. Practice and Promote Catch & Release Only!
Early-Mid Summer proven fish getters, are the dry crane, adams wulffs, black ants and stimulators. Wets and wooly buggers, small and large soft hackles and spider flies in natural colors. Great time to spey and swing flies.
Summer Dog Days requires adjustments to be made in presentation and depths. When there are no rising trout or swirls just beneath the surface, go deep from mid morning into early evening and then change up your tips to raise your fly into the upper 1/5 of the water column or full float to approach risers. Once you find the proper depth zone for that area, stay with it!
A Keen Eye with good polarized sun glasses for protection and to spot active fish are must. These will also help you decide on how to approach feeding fish and safe wading.
Experience is the key for added success, especially this time of the season. Allow me help you become a better fly fisherman. Watch for scheduled fly and spey classes and schools in the area, or call and set up a personalized day of instruction and a wade or float fly fishing trip.

| Westfield River
Fishing Report: 08/19/12 |
Current Flows: Even with the recent bump in flows from the rains, the river still only managed to rise to a questionable low flow condition with water temps remaining in the 70s and flows are dropping below safe conditions. Please consider the lethal low flows and elevated water temps before fishing this river. Survival here is extremely difficult and with any undue pressure on these fish they will not revive fully to survive. Fish Elsewhere.

the higher flows,

and more on the Deerfield and Westfield River.

Cape Cod Fishing Reports: 08/09/11

Chatham Area: Hard northeast wind the other day brought drove of fish onto the rips, we have June fishing in August.
by Capt.Tony Biski
Read and be sure to
understand the tide charts and water heights. A
must is to
ask local shops about safety issues on your planned
fishing
spot. Good planning can result in a fun and safe
trip. Pick
the tides you want to fish. Good Luck and fish
smart! If
you’re new to the Cape or a seasoned angler,
PFD’s are good investment to insure your
safety for
future fishing and be sure to scope out the area in
the
daylight to see what hazards you may be up against.
