From Long Valley to the Gorge, approximately 8 miles of river are at a great level. The SB in Long Valley is perfect while the Gorge was slightly mercky yesterday. Visibility at the Gorge was 2 - 3 feet.
Fishing the Gorge yesterday, I noticed the smell of OUTHOUSE come by my nose approximately every 20 minutes. Someone is definetely dumping raw sewage, or there is a faulty valve somewhere.
Other than that, the fish were taking emergers. I was able to land a couple of 10" brown trout on the water surface using caddis.
While fishing downstream from the trestle in the pool directly downstream from the trestle, A guy started fishing slightly upstream from me with nymphs. No problem as far as I'm concerned. Fish literally jumping out of the water in this pool, and this a$$hole decides he's going to trounce right through. I said to him, "You're not going to walk right through where I'm fishing are you?" He looked at me and said, "Yah, I am." So he started swashing right through where I was casting. I said to him, "You can always tell who the beginners are." This guy was arrogant. Then I said to him, "You should learn some river etiquette, have a little respect for your fellow anglers." The guy shrugged his shoulders and said something to the effect of, "ohh well." The I said to him, "You probably haven't caught a fish all day." And he shrugged again while lighting another cigarette.
For a while, I was working on this fish (which I never did get to catch). Keep in mind that there were fish jumping EVERYWHERE! This guy starts casting for the same fish. People like this need to give up this sport immediately, they are useless wastes of time and a pitifull addition to any river they venture off to.
This jack-off proceeded downstream from me and wouldn't you know it, he caught 2 fish after I just got done calling him a beginner and told him he probably hasn't caughten a thing all day.
He was using a dryfly with a dropper or (BOBBER IN DISGUISE). The dry he was using looked like a "Usual"Olive Usual. This clearly was not the choice of hatching imitations for last night.
Anyway, I now declare that my visits to the Gorge will be in the fall through opening day when the seasonal clowns (no offense to the non-seasonal clowns) are no longer thinking about fishing.
To add to that, the fish were not fighting that great. It's as if they are saying to themselves, "here we go again. I'll put up a little fight and let'm reel me in so I can get release again."
My conclusion of KLG fishing is that there are plenty of fish to be caught, but GO ELSEWHERE, there are many more places to fish.
PS... Why not email me with a few places you fish, they won't leave my lips, I promise.
