Albacore Flies Class…Albies are already showing up at the coast and folks are planning trips.   Consequently, we’ve scheduled an “emergency” albie fly class this Thurs. Oct. 9, from 7-9:30pm.  Plans are to tie the Mushmouth, and also to tie with Sili Skin and some of the Enrico Puglisi fibers.  Cost is $10.  Call asap to reserve a spot.   We need to know in advance that you’re coming.   

 

One Night Stand…This month’s one-nighter tying class will focus on several Stonefly patterns.  These are new patterns we’ve not done previously, including a realistic Yellow Stonefly.   Here’s a good chance to broaden you stonefly selection and learn some new techniques in the process.   Cost is $10 to cover material, handouts etc.   Class is Thursday Oct 30th from 7-9pm.

 

 Fishing update…Delayed Harvest for trout is in full swing and good reports have come in from several locations.   Stocking did not happen as previously done due to a variety of factors:  more DH streams to cover, truck “problems” etc.   But, as far as we know stocking has been completed, but with perhaps fewer fish in some cases.  

            Smallmouth fishing continues to be good.  Water temp in the New has been hovering around 60 degrees and the topwater bite was pretty good on Monday, and some wet wading was tolerable due to warm air temps and bright sunshine..  There’s still some good smallie action to be had so don’t give up yet.
