BARTMAN, There was a massive hendrickson hatch here on Oriskany Creek, i was just curious, do you guys get such prolific hendrickson hatches this early down your way ? Ive seen them early april many times but ussually the bigger hatches happen later in april here...
No, this is first for me. Typically, the masssive hendickson hatches come off in the Catskills from 4/15 to 5/1 but with the low water and that week-long heat wave we had a few weeks back, it's happening very early. One thing I haven't seen yet are the apple caddis which usually pop with the hendricksons. As a side note, I was down there with my son on 3/23 and we did well on top (about 10 fish) on blue quills. Late March dry fly action - crazy.I'm headed down there again this coming week
Nice work RG, we can never have enough fishing toys - or should I say tools. M Finn, don't put the streamers away. I've actually changed plans for tomorrow and won't be heading to the Catskills with the wind but I'll be chucking streamers tomorrow a little closer to home. I get some giants this time of year and I'm hoping for a little rain tomorrow.Bart
Streamers never leave my fly box......
