Summer Fly Fishing in New York: COVID 2020

-
Image
This summer has been a wild ride.  I drove across the country, twice, fished the Genesee River, Keuka Lake, and the main stem and west branches of the Delaware River during my time in New York State.   Fishing the Genesee back in New York is part of our annual camping trip.  I believe this year was our 10th trip in succession, which is pretty cool.  The water was a bit high, but that didn't stop us.  My best buddy Jared and I hiked a section with solid results on streamers and nymphs.  There was not much dry fly action to be had so we had to adjust our tactics in order to get subsurface eats.  The water was super high throughout the spring so these fish were hot to trot and put up some solid battles.   A fat and healthy fish from the Genny. A strange thing happened with this 18" rainbow.  Jared caught it in a riffle and not 5 minutes later after he had walked upstream I caught him again.  He was hungry (and perhaps a littl...

Hike to Fish

I don't fish enough high mountain lakes.  Although I fish quite often, you need more time in order to hike several miles, fish for a few hours and then hike back.  Most anglers (like myself) are not willing to devote that many hours (and steps) when we know reliable fishing spots an hour from Denver that hold trout over 20 inches. Since the beginning of September I have been hiking more and learning that the joy is in the journey.  I have hiked to at least four new lakes and fished three of them. (One was barren of trout).  The trails to these lakes are just like rivers; they're all different.  There is something magical about that.  I've also gotten in better shape trudging up these trails with my vest and fly rod in tow.   All Trails is a great app and by reading through the comments you can really get a feel for exactly what you're going to encounter on the trail.  I will then google the lake and make sure there are trout there. (This soun...

The Elusive Brown Trout

I think about fly fishing everyday.  I think about bugs everyday.  I think about flies I need to tie in preparation for a trip, river, or time of year, everyday.  That being said, I think about brown trout more than anything else in regard to fly fishing, everyday. Brown trout are special.  They're stealthy, extremely intelligent, hard fighting, gorgeous, clever, bullish, and downright nasty at times.  I have witnessed brown trout emulate every other type of trout while still staying true to themselves. Around the onset of fall one September evening several years ago on the main stem of the Delaware River there was a sparse hatch of Ephoron's occurring above the takeout at Buckingham.  Some anglers just refer to them as "white flies", but the best thing about them is they're visible, especially right before dark.  The water temperature was ideal, but at a small inlet my good friend Nixie and I saw a big fish sipping on these flies right at the tail out...
