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!

Hi Guys,
There are lots of bugs and fishing is tough but really fun.
Hendricksons are on and the big fish have been eating them in the shallows.
Big sipping fish (not huge nunbers) but huge fish!!!
I have gotten good reports from the West Branch, East Branch, Neversink and Upper Mainstem. Slow on the lower mainstem. I saw TR getting off the lower river tonight, maybe he can give a lower mainstem update.
Water is crystal clear about everywhere and dropping.
I would plan to be up over the next 2-3 weeks for Hendricksons and caddis.

Andre,
I went on a tour yesterday, West Branch above the reservoir, East Branch around Harvard, West Branch at Hancock and across the river in Pennsylvania. Yesterday, there were plenty of the two bugs pictured below around, the problem was they were not flying up and down, but only sideways, due to the wind. They were clinging onto me for dear life. So I snapped their pictures and sent them on their way. In all my scouting around, I saw one fish rise (East Branch) This was all between 2 and 5 PM, by the way.
Today, let's just say somewhere between Hale Eddy and Hancock,
there were more of the same two, plus some large stoneflies as well as a bunch of small tan caddis. There were a few risers (a FEW) and I was able to catch ONE 14-15 inch Brown.
To recap, LOTS of bugs seem to be around, but at least in the last two days, where I have been, very few rising fish.

Dry Flies Only
Andre and anyone else,
the fishing on the big 3 (east branch west branch and main stem) have been ok,the wind has been brutal with the cold front and low pressure coming in fri/sat i wouldnt bother,the winds will only be worse!You will have no dry fly action!maybe sunday??
Your best bet would be the bkill and wilo which are fishing great and the neversink is well unbelievable! to say the least.
For you guys coming that far from nj its just not worth it.
