Welcome back to the new NEFF. Take a break from Twitter and Facebook. You don't go to Dicks for your fly fishing gear, you go to your local fly fishing store. Enjoy!
I lost my green Umpqua UPG weekend fly box on Thursday 5/22 in the canyon section up stream from the old hatchery about mid way up stream from fisherman's paradise. If you hear about someone finding one I can identify the contents of the box and would love to get it back. I forgot to zip my...
Well it's that time of the year for our annual fishing get together with my Dad, brother and my son. Normally we rent a place in central PA, but life has been busy with the birth of my niece and my sons graduation from college so we couldn't make set plans and decided to fish out of my dad's...
Made it to PA today only to find Penns blown out again so we headed up for an evening trip to fisherman's paradise on spring creek which was a first for us. What a beauty of a creek. Got to watch the eagles nest for a bit while talking with some locals, then we hiked down the road past the...
My dad, brother and I are heading down to Penns Creek for a few days of fishing starting Wednesday. The river has been dropping nicely and if the rains are not to bad it should be good fishing. Anyone else going? We are staying at Schafers and this will be our 3rd trip to Penns and something...
Hit the FFO section of the Willimantic TMA Sunday afternoon for a couple of hours and managed 4 trout, 1 miss and also landed one dace all while euro nymphing. took 2 on a brown rubber leg stone and 2 on small frenchie nymph and the dace on a walts worm. Water temp was 42 degrees and...
Finally got a chance to get back on the water so I met up with JT from JT's fly shop Sunday morning to fish the Willi. We were on water by 6am and off by 10:30. Caught a mixed bag including a Blue Gill and Calico.
You can read the full report here: Willimantice River TMA Outing 5/29/11 | JT's...
Anyone going to be fishing Penns around June 2 & 3. I'll be there with my son, dad and brother for a few days for some family fishing. Staying at PCA. We did this trip last year with heat and low water and had a blast. Fishing on Penns was tough and we are not very good at fly fishing yet...
Spent Sunday on the water with my brother and nephew. First stop was the skuamung fish and game fishing derby for some craziness and then off to the Salmon TMA. My nephew was spin fishing and using mostly salmon colored trout magnets fished under a float and mealworms while I spent the...
I decided to hit the TMA on the willi last night seeing I haven't been there in weeks and I couldn't believe how low the water is. I know I have never fished it this low before. Scary how low it was.
Anyway, I started by the abutment pool looking to see what was happening for bug life and...
This past weekend I had the pleasure to hit the Farmington with Aaron Jasper to get some instruction on Euro Nymphing techniques. Even with the bad weather I learned plenty, caught plenty of fish and look forward to learning more about this technique as I continue using it.
Certainly not...
Had some free time today so I hit my local TMA with the plan of doing some nymphing which I did but I was unsuccessful. I had seen some fish so I decided to switch to old faithful. Olive woolly bugger and I started to pick up some fish. Most hit while drifting the bugger or letting it hang in...
I recently just found this forum and registered. I've been playing catchup here trying to read posts and get up to speed. I'm in Northeast CT and I noticed a few members here from some other boards I participate in. Awesome board for sure and i look forward in particpating, but being a newbie...
