Adirondack Warm Water Fishing Report:
Bass fishing is on FIRE RIGHT NOW!! Both the Hungry Trout Fly Shop and our sister shop the Adirondack Anglers Outpost are fully stocked with warm water needs. Our current suggestion is to focus popper patterns with a chartreuse coloration against and along banks. The purpose of poppers is to disturb water to entice fish. Us a method of stripping and sudden rod tip twitches to get that signature “bloop”. Stripping pattern commonly used is “Strip, Strip, Pause, Strip, Strip, Pause…”. Please give the fly shop a call with any questions regarding warm water fishing. We do offer guided Boat and Float Trips for bass for those looking to cover more and bigger water in hunt of those warm water giants.
