Unfortunately work, family commitments and overall just being busy have kept me off of the water the past week. I did get out and temp a few of our local streams this morning and with temps in the low to mid 60's. It looks like Trout season is right around the corner. We did get a message across the wire that the state will be stocking the middle branch of the White Clay on Monday, October 1st. They are looking for volunteers to help with the stocking. Anyone interested can meet at the Good Hope bridge at approximately 2:00 pm. Between the state and the White Clay Fly fishers holiday stocking there should be enough fish to keep the river fishing through the winter. Remember, we have the tickets as well as the rod that will be raffled off to raise money for the holiday stocking. 100% of the money raised will go the the holiday stocking. Stop in, get a few tickets, and support a great cause. Who knows, you might walk away with a custom Gatti 9' 5 weight built by club president Rick Daring.
One boot Ed did text me a pic of a few smallies he picked up earlier in the week. The big boys should be getting ready to strap on the feed bag to get ready for the winter. I would be swinging BIG streamers, buggers, and crayfish patterns this time of year. Low and slow will be the ticket and the most important thing to remember this time of year is to be patient. Gone are the July and August times of super active fish that are hungry and willing to eat. Fish are more lethargic this time of year and they don't need to eat as much. If you find a good run that you suspect is holding fish, take your time and fish it thoroughly. When you get a hook up you will be glad you did.
Stripers are starting to show up down south. mostly small stuff right now, but the big boys should not be too far behind. As the migration continues we will keep you up to date.
