Hi Paul:

I would like to ask you a few questions about the East Branch of the Deerfield. I have been going up to Somerset and fishing for Smallies but would now like to branch out and fly fish that area. I usually camp right there and the road junction below Somerset. I know where the suspension bridge is but I would like your insight into fishing this area.

From one of your posts I see that you grew up in Boonton and fished the Rockaway river. Recently went to the Boonton Gorge section parked by the old freight house or turntable and walked down by the bridge.

Should I keep working my way down to the reseviour? Or should I head upstream? Water was low and clear. I have had luck in the spring heading up stream but now that is fall I was wondering where the holdovers might be or if you had any insight that you would care to share?

Thanks

Thanks for the info.

The reports are excellent but then again I never fished there myself. Maybe when I go back to southern Vermont next spring I'll give it a shot. Let me know how you make out.
