Fishizzle, I use worms but I'm looking to upgrade!
I had planned on making this weekend a fishing weekend ,but as last week went on saturday looked colder and colder so the maiden voyage for the boat had to wait until sunday. Being early in the season, I decided to take a shot somewhere I had never fished, which was very low on the delaware down where its mostly small mouth with some trout mixed in a little bit above port jervis. Put in around 11 and had bugs with the occasional riser from the start. As expected however, the wind was a killer and would kick up every time we got into position and had a shot at a fish. We continued throwing streamers and moved/hooked some fish, and then we finally caught a break with the wind. The bugs came out in force and trout began to show themselves in some of the transitional areas of the section we floated. You had to hit them quick as gusts would still come out of no where when the fish would get into a grove, but we got the timing right and made it work. The fish were more selective than I would have thought for early season dry fly action at the flows the river was running this sunday. We changed flies a few times and ended up finding a tandem dry rig with one brown stone/ 1 black stone being the best option. Sometimes a spent wing worked best/others a grizzly hackled stone worked better because I think the hackle gave off the impression the fly was fluttering on the water. It was nice not seeing anyone on the water, and with the way this season is going it wont be long til there won't be many trout to catch down there at all so overall a nice day for a maiden voyage on a new section of river, caught some nice fish and the weather was beautiful.
