Suicide Tues.

Nice to hear you had a great day.  Rained like the hammers of h--- all day in lower Dutchess County.  No fishing, hunting nor any other fun.  It was a run errands day.

Life is good Charlie - good fishin-----
 Actually kinda sooprized there arent more guys filing reports- for some I guess this is still kinda early and October is their time- years ago  moved my trips to Oct cause Sept kept gettin spotty- not now-lol
  Dont worry boyz- Oct is gonna be epic -tonsa hos startin in and the steel are startin too.
 

Strawberries were 2-3 weeks early in My and June, sweet corn on July 4, Apples were ready to be picked 2-3 weeks early, why not the run coming in early as well?  Word along the western Lake is that the browns and steel are all staged at the mouths of the tribs waiting for temperature and water in a lot of them, good fishing off shore and the piers. If I could get to Pulaski now, I'd be ignoring the Kings except to find a pod spawning, and mosying downstream a few yards to drift little egg flies. In a normal year we are figuring lots of steel by third or last week in October, so with everything else as early this year....

2b, those aren't tumbleweeds, those are balls of mono escaped from the LOTAC collectors. I liked the images, though.  I hope Lucky is right in extrapolating all the early signs nature is putting up into some earlier runs. Look forward to some non-Chinook reports. Much as I was tempted to spend a little time down river, I don't have enough knowledge to get away from the crowds, quickly and with surety. I'd have loved to put some lighter tippet and egg patterns to use. I'm not complaining though. I had an incredible day.  Hope you have some to share soon of some different critters.

Down through town and the Ballpark was still a zoo last Monday- Upriver wasnt bad at all away from the lots and mid river held tons of cars but most were posted up around the lots- A couple of hundred yards walking makes its a whole different place.
  good luck--

Here's Pafisher multi-tasking. What's surprising is that's he's not hooked up at the same time as releasing the double we just banked.
I think he was on a break.  This grey weather doesn't make for the most scenic of pics, so I didn't take many. For me, a couple of guys fishing together, landing some great fish at the same time is a special occasion. I suppose that may be old hat to many, it sure ain't to me.

Well I'm finally getting around to posting again,was too busy and tired for some reason or another
Well as Charlie said it was fish on constantly,by the end of each day I was soooo tired but it was a good tired.Dark colors are what they are hitting,nympths,wooly buggers,black estaz,etc.Tried other colors,including the light blue estaz that worked last week and nothing doing this week.The entire river is loaded with fish,took a ride today before leaving and there are fish everywhere.Stopped in town to look at the circus and had a few laughs,lot of clowns are putting on a show.Now it's time for some steel if we ever get some rain.

Raining pretty good for a while now.
