Give us a try!
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!

AK, the reason I like the t-shirts so much is that fishing where I fish...sometimes I really do feel like paddling faster.

Dries, wets, nymphs and streamers...it's all good!
I was up last Monday and only saw 2 fish in the ladder so this is a good sign.... I guess..... Last year I landed 3 skam's on July 4th release, this year, didn't even see a fish :crap:

WOW!!!! Floated the river from Altmar to Pineville yesterday. Ok so maybe I did a little dragging too. ANYWAYS!!! We finally hooked a summer run!!!! Unfortunately it wasn't me because I was rowing and he was complaining about how this sucks and there are no fish here, then WHAM!! After catching just smolts and chubs all day he wasn't ready for that fish when it hit. Haha. I couldn't stop laughing. Anyhow, we saw at least six fish while we were moving along the river. Best advice I can give you is fish the faster water. I saw two in the LFZ just up from the bridge as well.
On a side note, one of the ECO's for the area was kind enough to give my buddy a ride back from the pineville ramp so we didn't have to ride a bike to get the truck. See, they are great guys!! Or, maybe I just spend too much time on there and they know not only my face, but my truck and boat. I guess that is a good thing though.
SO!! To all of you out there on the hunt for the summer chrome, they are starting to be there in better numbers. Talked to a gentleman who was practicing his spey casting and he hit one in the UFZ earlier in the morning on the swing.

Hook: Daiichi 1710 (or 2XL standard nymph hook) #6-8
Gold bead head
Thread: Uni 3/0 yellow
Collar: Grizzle hackle
Dubbing: Light yellow rabbit

Mix all three dubbing materials together
using a dubbing loop, place dubbing in wide for that shaggy effect.
I used yellow rabbit but substituted Light Bright with Hareline Ice Dubbing

Very cool fly, I only have one argument
#6? Thats way too big...I'd probably go with #18 at the most

haha perfect!
Sometimes its like the fish don't even see it coming or something!

Heck.. cast that #18 out there a number of times out on a Montana stream (counting down the days yet?) the trout would think it was a second coming of the salmonfly hatch.

The teeny nymph now has a new contender for the best steelhead fly ever AK.
CT, I know you've been out wading the shallows ripping steelhead scales off lately in 185cfs...the high water is just your cover now

Whiskey's fer drinkin', water's fer fighting.
Sucks doesn't it? Little river brown trout just don't satisfy the jones, do they?

Awww and I'm heading up to the AuSable this weekend.
I wonder if I can convince the gf that she'd have a better time at Altmar than Lake Placid.

No need to wade. Plenty of water to float and drag the boat across. Haha.:smokelots:

Altmar would be way more fun, and cheaper too! There are plenty of smolts to keep you busy until you tangle with a nice chromer.

We are less than two months away... and counting.
Not from that i hope...much as i love the cold weather
