I saw 50 guys beating the waters on opening day, with only 1 fish caught all day??? Such a beautiful river, but no fish? Any ideas?

I usually avoid the Brodheads the first week or two of the season if I can for that reason. Could be a few reasons why. The first that comes to mind would be the water temp. I fished a smaller stream the first week and had off and on action with nymphs and buggers. My father who was with me the first day uses worms and only caught a few. He did have a fair share of hits but they were only nipping the heads off.

I might go check it out tommorrow or this weekend if it isnt a circus still

I know to expect the crowds on opening day, but it's a camping weekend tradition, so I go anyway. When you say the temp may have been off, are you saying it might be too cold?? Also - we had very storng thunderstorms roll through about 3.5 hours before the season opened, so I wondered about that. Let me know how you do. I like the river, but it takes me an hour to get there, so when I go I sure would like to come back with something!

Almost all the NEPA streams were slow onopening day from what I heard/ saw. The water temps and rain certainly gave the trout a case of lockjaw.

I may give the Broadhead a try Sunday evening for eels. I catch more trout deadsticking worms at 1AM while eel fishing then I do when I'm actually fishing for them.
