Fishing Outlook: As we come into the last week of May we are beginning to look towards our favorite month of fishing, June. June means big bugs. Big Mayflies and Big Terrestrials. For right now continue to focus on dry droppers and nymphs in the mornings. Focus hard on prospecting with stonefly nymphs such as girlde bugs for those trout hanging down low. As the late afternoon and evening arrive, fish eyes will start looking up. As the hatch begins target rising fish in both pockets and pools, with wetflies/emergers and dry flies.

Fishing Outlook: Adirondack Trout fishing is in full swing! Hendricksons, March Browns, BWOs, Caddis and Stoneflies are here. Fishing has been very productive with nymphing being the primary focus in the morning and afternoon then turning towards wet and dry flies in the evening. For your day time nymphing double nymph rigs are the most productive. Fishing a girdle bug under a mayfly or caddis nymph will produce the most success. As we move into the evening hatch be sure to keen in and notice how fish are feeding. Sporadic rises and splash typically hints fish are feeding on emerging bugs. In this case hatch specific emergers and wet flies are your best option. As you fish your fly remember to use slight twitches to produce predatory reactions from fish. Consistent rises means likely feeding on top. Keen in on your fish and use a dead drift and skittering combination will help you successfully catch your target fish.

Stream: West Branch Ausable River

Flow: 1480 cubic ft/sec main stem

Clarity: Clear

Temperature: 41-47 degrees F West Branch Ausable River, Behind the Fly Shop at 9am.

Hatches: Early Brown Stone, Midge

UPDATE: Argentina was incredible. If ever interested in information regarding our hosting trips or want to join us on our next trips drop us a line. The local rivers are still quite cold – low 40s in the AM, but fish are starting to feed on attractor nymphs and slowly swung streamers. Warm days cloud up the river with snowmelt and bump up the flows, but for the most part the level is nice and fishable – about 1500 CFS. Not a lot of bug life as expected this time of year, but trout gotta eat., Please Call 518-946-2217 or email flyfishing@hungrytrout.com for guide inquiries. Thank you and see you soon!

Hot Flies: Dry Flies: Little to Zero dry fly activity right now. Black. Grey Caddis, Hendricksons, Black Stimulator #14-16, Griffiths Gnat #20-22 will be the first Dries to pop in May. Nymphs: Black Stoneflies 12-16, Girdle Bug Coffee Black #10-12 Pheasant tail 12-18, Prince Nymph #12-18 Streamers: Dark colored Wooly Buggers (Olive or Black preference), Sparkle Minnow Conehead, Articulated Sparkle Minnows and JIG, classic Mickey Finns and Grey Ghosts, Dhali Lama.

Fishing Outlook: Early season conditions persist. Cold water and full river. Worth fishing through. We had a few guide trips out lately and all had success. One group of 9 anglers on a bachelor party all hooked with some of them catching handfuls of fish. Early season has us guiding early which is awesome. Exciting time of year. Temps this week are up and down, with some days in the 60s and some in the 40s. Fishing is best in the afternoons once the river can warm a few degrees. Take advantage of the early season with no crowds and the chance for a truly large brown while the rivers are full. Check out the featured pic of Reeds clients huge brown from last week.

Fishing Outlook: Early Season temperatures have us thinking fishing early this year. The local rivers have been producing some nice early season browns during these warm days before the snow melt (whatever is left) comes through. Early season tactics take hold. Fish slow and be patient. Slowly dead drifted and swung streamers is my favorite tactic before ill fish nymphs low and slow. Fish in and around good holes as the trout will also hold in shallow head and tailout of the pools.
