Guided Trips & Fishing

By |March 31st, 2020|Categories: Reports|Tags: , , , , , , , , |

NYS has put a temporary ban on guiding in New York under the "PAUSE Executive Order" until further notice.   While we have already stopped doing any trips before this went into effect for everyone's safety, we're still are booking trips for the fall.  This it a tough time for all of us and I've been reaching to clients about their dates booked and deposits and  I want to thank all my clients who have rescheduled or have been generous to allow me to keep the deposit. If you have any questions, or want to book a date for later this year please email, text or call me at (518) 495-2965. Thank you for your cooperation during this time.

Cigars and Trout

By |May 24th, 2016|Categories: Reports|Tags: , , , , , |

#16 Frenchie The West Branch Ausable River has been fishing very good. Good hatches of Hendrickson's, March Browns and Caddis have been coming off. This weekend we jumped around covering a lot of water tight line nymphing and it was very productive using Frenchies on the top fly and constantly changing the anchor fly, but 90% of our fish were on the Frenchie. The Douglaston Salmon Run recently stocked 500 trout from 8" to 20" down the run. Fishing for these fish is a great opportunity to learn the water at summer flows (185 cfs) for the upcoming fall season. Brown trout and smallmouth bass are a blast to catch on light tackle. If your looking to book a trip, now is the time, give me a call (518) 495-2965. .

Trout Fishing Report

By |June 9th, 2015|Categories: Reports|Tags: , , , , , |

I was up on the Ausable River in Wilmington over the past week and the fishing was great, plenty of hatches coming off for the dry fly angler from mid day on and nymphing was good all day. Here are my clients tight line nymphing thru some very productive pocket water on the Ausable.  A #16 Frenchie and #8 Rubber Leg Stone Fly are a great set up on the Ausable, this nice Brown got fooled by the frenchie. I have limited dates left for trout fishing trips, if you would like to book one give me a call or click on the contact tab to e-mail me.
