Sun report

Fished the lower river all day Sun with a bill from utica fishing was on and off all day. I ended up catching one in the upper teens that gave me a 25 min fight and ended up landing it above the island on the lower staircase. I hooked her at the top of the pool she kept slipping back until she hit the rapids then she was gone. I opened the bail, and started after her. She went halfway down the rapids and stoped behind a rock and held for a miniute or two.after that I got her into a pocket and released her after a couple more short runs. Sorry no pics camera in my bag 150yds up stream. But we ended up me, with the float 5for 7 bill bottom drifting6for8.

There isn't much snow left on the ground flows shouldn't be that bad.

Sounds like a fun time. Both guys into the fish.
Must have been a big girl to take you down river that far. Congrats. on getting her to hand!

Yea, There is still snow on the ground and plenty in the Tug Hill. So if you are coming from far away, better check the water flow. It would not surprise me at all to see the river at flood stage by the end of the week.

I'm trying for a Feb. trip even though I loathe the cold, but it's probably gonna be a March thing which sucks because that's when I fish the little black stone fly dries here at home. My favorite hatch of the year, and overlooked by most.
I wish those Steel up there would nose up. I'd be there much more if they did.
