The graveyard is 2 blocks down and on the right? What happened here? The important people are here, of which I am one. I haven’t fished yet this spring since I’m currently a gimp. Aside from the overly optimistic Catskill reports on the usual websites, how has the fishing been there? I haven’t been able to wade because of my gimpiness, the high water did not help this situation, and my buddy with a boated moved. Far. However, this weekend I might pop some meds, suck-up the pain and make an attempt. How has it been? Bugs? Any spinners?
Roll up the windows Brian, you're letting the stank out.

Re: Where is everyone?
Dry fly action has not set the world on fire so far this spring, at least locally. Catskills have largely been high water, but that is now mostly on the tailwaters. Drifting has been the way to go, but like you, I don't own a boat. Sulfurs are on local NJ waters, but I have yet to see a strong hatch. Tons of caddis as normal, but it's mainly the mayflies that will make them look up (or not) right now. At least our water levels are back to normal or close. More rain in a few days on the way.
What did you do to become a gimp?

Re: Where is everyone?
Fishing on the D is a shit show right now. Don't bother. I saw this one guy post a pic of a West Branch stocked brown with a tail that looked like the piranha got to it.

Re: Where is everyone?
I'm not a big West Branch guy, I prefer the big river when conditions allow, because it always seems like a shit show on the West Branch. As of right now, conditions don't look like they allow, which makes me feel a little better. Plus the spots I like to fish on the Big River require burning alot of boot felt to get to.

Re: Where is everyone?
One good thing about this year is the higher flows have made the lower east fishable again- past couple seasons its been a dont bother situation. Not a numbers thing over there but I've taken a couple 22-24'' over there this season and have seen some decent bug activity. Upper EB also fishing well with quality bugs this spring

Right, so how will they know if you are targeting shad? They will probably just watch from the woods with binoculars for a few, until they see what you are doing, kind of like Grobert does every time...
Keep an eye out for American shad...
