Fishing 6/13-6/14

Saturday I was fishing at the check station over rising fish, when I was overrun by a mad rush of kayakers, we have to remember the river belongs to everyone. From there I went over to breakheart brook where I was able to catch a couple of small rainbows on caddis pupa. Sunday I took a ride to AL Mowrey pond for the first time, I hooked a couple of fish but was unable to get them out of the weeds.

Saturday, I took a ride to the Blackstone and fished the Kelly house stretch, with little or no success. I saw minimal insect activity.
Sunday evening I fished the check station at the wood. There was a sparse hatch of mahogany duns, along with a few tan caddis flies on the water. I had several hits on soft hackles and managed to land 1 rainbow of about 13 inches

I fished at the check station yesterday(05/31). Conditions were low, clear water with a sporadic hatch of brown quills. I saw very few rising fish and was unable to catch a single trout. Also of note was a large number of canoes and kayaks

Well the weekend is finally here. Yesterday (5/29) I fished at the check station and managed to get 1 rainbow about 12-13 inches. Surprisingly I was the only one on this stretch of river, and after I finished I went to the pines and only found a single car. I fished at the pines and totally struck out. As everyone is aware the water level is very low, and I am beginning to wonder if this is adversely affecting the insect activity on the river

Try Me

After Wednesday's meeting, I fished the first bridge on the Flat River.  Fish were rising here and there sporadically to emergers, and I caught two fish on size 14 soft hackle flies.  Paul Pezza arrived while I was fishing and caught 6 fish in less than a half an hour on his Chocolate Hare's Ear.

Recipe for Chocolate Hare's Ear

Hook:  Size 10 to 18, 1 or 2x

Thread:  Red

Tail:  Pheasant tail fibers 

Body:  Chocolate brown (Pheasant tail fibers for size 16 and under)

Rib:  Copper or gold wire (he prefers copper)

Thorax:  Chocolate brown

He has great success casting this to rising fish.

Fished the wood at the check station last night. I caught 2 rainbows, both on soft hackles. 1 approx 13 inches in the stretch just above the fast water, and 1 about 16 inches in front of the quonset hut, up against the bank

Fishing 5/23

I fished the Pines on Saturday evening. The river was packed with fisherman, both upstream and down. This was the first time this year I saw rising fish anywhere. The problem was that whatever these fish wanted I didn't have with me. There was a lot of bugs in the air, primarily mahogany duns. Anyway I hope everyone had better luck than I did this weekend
