hi all, i'm going to be up in vermont this weekend and into next week. i'm assuming it's too warm for trout fishing. does anyone have a suggestion of a smallmouth river in the middlebury/brandon area? it's mostly going to be a family trip and visit, but i thought i'd sneak out early morning...

Hi all, I've never really gotten around to fishing much in the winter before (or even post-season, late fall stuff). I've only been at this a relatively short time, for one thing. Butt his year I am determined to fish (almost) as much in the wintertime as I am currently. For the various year...

Hi, Fished the morning and the afternoon/evening on the Housy yesterday with a bit of religion in the middle. It was in prime condition (the river, not the religion). The water was mid 500's, clear, and cold. There were flies in the air pretty much all day, and much more thickly from around 3pm...

Hi folks, just wondering if anyone fishes Ten Mile River a lot (or at all) and could give me some suggestions as to a good place to get started there, and any other tips you might have. Thanks for your thoughts. Ricky

hi guys, has anyone been fishing the housy this last week or two? i was thinking about targeting smallies there this week (around the Cornwall Bridge TMA) or next. i'm assuming it's too warm for trout just now. wondering if anyone has any insights to offer. thanks. ricky

So a quick report from Estes Park, Colorado. I'm out here for a family wedding. I've managed to fish (for a while, anyway) the Fall River, Poudre River, and the Big Thompson. Did a guided trip that I was VERY lukewarm about (PM me if you want me to tell you the shop...I don't feel it's necessary...

Hi guys, My wife and I are looking at a house in Millerton, New York. Before we take such a leap of faith, can anyone suggest good places to fish in the area? I know it's not all that far to Cornwall Bridge, CT TMA at the Housy (maybe 45 minutes?), but I'm just curious if there are good places...

Hi all, I went to the KLG for the first time yesterday. Had a good time and found it really pretty and perfect fishing water (tried to tune out the construction vehicles on occasion). Caught some great rainbows on caddis emergers (thanks to BKill for tip). There were sporadic rises but nothing...

I was fishing the Housatonic last night (TMA in Cornwall Bridge). I had gotten an announcement from the great fly store Housatonic River Outfitters in Cornwall Bridge. Basically, the gist was that trout fishing in July was still possible (and better than that) due to all the rain this early...

Hi all, Does anyone fish the amawalk outlet a lot? Please drop a line if you do & you'd be willing to answer a few quick questions about it. Thanks. Ricky

I had engaged a guide for the Beaverkill & the Willowemoc because I’m still a relatively new angler, and these rivers were entirely new to me. Furthermore, I really wanted to practice my dry fly fishing. “Bkill” came from recommendations of people on this site. For me, it was worth every cent...

Hi guys, Can anyone recommend a good guide for a day on either the Beaverkill or Willowemoc later this summer (prob. early July)? I'm still a new fly fisherman, and I'd like to try these famous rivers, but I feel I need a guide. Thanks for suggestions. Ricky

Hi guys, I'm thinking of trying the Roe Jan this weekend - I've never been there before but I'll be in Pine Plains so I thought it was worth a shot. Does anyone have any feedback or advice, either tactics or spots? Thanks for your thoughts.

Hi, Sort of a small question, but I'm not sure why/how people are so confident whether a fish is stocked or wild. I don't suppose it matters all that much since I'm new enough that I feel good (or better, even!) when I catch any fish, but is it because of size or behavior or species or a...

Hi - I am a quite inexperienced fly fisherman. I'm playing hookey with a friend next week and he lives sort of equidistant from the Housatonic and the Farmington. Any suggestions on which we should try at this time of year? I was also wondering if any one had any tips on what we should be using...
