Poconos fishing report

[MACFLY]

Arrived on stream around 3:45. Quick stream temp indicated 67 degrees. A cold front was moving in but right away I could see the fish were highly active. Plenty of fish slashing in the riffles at the head of a long run. They were picking off ISO emergers with reckless abandon. Mixed in with the ISOs were sporadic hatches of cahills and march Browns. I hooked 8 in this run and would have stayed but I was somewhat boxed in by a group of illegal aliens with saltwater rods. After I released a few fish the leader asked me what bait I was using. I told him to f@ck off and die (just kidding) I spent sbout 15 minutes explaining what a fly rod was and then gave h I'm a basic casting lesson. He asked me for a fly ( the nerve of this kid) and went back to his gang. I moved down to the next likely run as another spin fisherman was coming upstream. Boxed on again but in front of me were at least a dozen actively rising fish. By active I mean jumping out of the water, porpoising and absolutely gorging themselves on the flies coming off. By now sulphuric were appearing (earlier then normal mixed in with the ISOs, cahills, & march Browns). I caught another one on an ISO and missed a few as well. Then it happened. Large March grown spInners descended. I fished for another hour using a Rusty spinner. I hooked about 20-25 fish and had about 12 to the net. Nothing spectacular but several nice healthy Browns with some stockie rainbows mixed in. Best fish was about 14 inches. First brown rose in a current seam in almost slow motion trying to eat my ISO emerger. He missed twice then rose again and I stuck him. A fun night on the water and yet another reason why the ISO is my favorite hatch.

That's ok the fishing doesn't get good until say 4

It takes a highly skilled angler to catch and release the same wild trout three times in an about an hour...........not on purpose mind you, but a highly skilled angler.

You caught stocked fishes and wild fishes that had been chummed into a frenzy by all the bait in the water........The fish...I caught, three times in an hour, mind you again......was a wiley wild specimen, that through natural selection had learned to survive in the harsh environments of New Jersey,it had grown to a size of six inches.......a trophy indeed!!!!!


Maybe 6 and 1/2............

This is almost as homoerotic as future fanatic's smiley faces so I'm going to refuse to comment. With "caitlyn" emerging this week your prospects might improve so don't beat your self up too much

Nice report Mac. Sounds like you had a good time.

 

[WBDluver]

I will be driving up and down 442 looking for you.

 

[Flyboy1968]

Sounds like a good time. I'm hoping to get up to Mud Run sometime soon, before it gets too hot.

Cheers!

Last night was a good time. I was thinking about leaving around 7:00 so I texted the wife. She did not text back which is a sign she is mad at me. so my theory is that she can only get so mad so I stayed and we had constant action. Got home around 10:00 lol. That will teach her to ignore my texts

You give Rusty way too much credit.

Yep last night was great. We had consistent risers the whole time. The ISOs were going from the time we arrived stream side. Plenty of slashing rises. Water was a tad high but very fishable. Sulphur were a bit late but they did make an appearance. ISO emergers were the ticket followed by sulphurs and the dusty I mean rusty spinner. The fish were no match for us. We were well dressed and outfitted with the latest in flyfishing fashion. Flyfisherman magazine wants us on their cover. We may have to hire an agent.

Just tied up some ISO emegers if you want to have another go at it. I am using CDC instead of Elk Hair like Grobert wants us to do. They will work better than those Jersey Shore ones he ties.

No, no, I though she was working part time as a hospice nurse.....:crap:

CDC ISO emerger is the way to go
