Fishing Outlook: June is here and with it comes peak Adirondack fly fishing. Hopper dropper rigs and stoneflies have been the primary go too for successful fishing. 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. March Browns are on the decline but June is the still the season for mayflies and terrestrials with Sulphurs and BWO dominating the mayfly realm. Blind casting Hoppers and Big Attractor May and Caddisfly adults into pockets is a consistent and fun strategy to us while fishing the Ausable. While standing in pools be on the look out for a variety of Mayflies hatching and use your eyes to find the best fly suited for it. For the most up-to-date reports or have any questions regarding fishing strategies give us a call here at the Fly Shop at 518-946-2117.
UPDATE: Prime fishing conditions are here and should remain until Sunday. Monday afternoon the next heat wave hits and the Main rivers will should not be fished until the heat wave peaces out and cooler temps return. Plan on fishing smaller creeks and start focusing on warm water species as we transition into summer fishing. So many good options – well show you where. Outlooking weather reports are reporting high 80 degrees weather beginning Monday afternoon of next week. However, prime conditions are here and will remain in through the weekend so defiantly do not miss the next few days of high quality fishing conditions.
