Mills River Delayed Harvest Report

Wed, 04/07/2010 - 09:05 -- jmaslar

Here is a report from C.S.Gibbs who is the man behind the Fishwater Maps that are so helpful in locating trout.  He necessarily needs to do a good deal of fly fishing in order to create those magnificant maps.

From CS: Couldn't stand being inside today so I snuck out to the Mills River to see what was happening.  Looked Like some march browns were coming off pretty steady while I was there along with some black caddis and some other little black swarming bugs.  The new fish were keyed in on the bugs and feeding pretty well.  I missed the best of it by getting there a little late but still managed a few little scrappers on a size 12 Adams.  The place was pretty filled up with fellow anglers enjoying the day.  Plenty of fish to go around though and I watched several people hook'n up.  Hopefully spring is here for real this time, grab a Fishwater Map of a river you've never fished and get out there!
