As those of you who have been following the progress on our TroutU web site know, we have been bringing you detailed reports about various trout waters throughout the USA. We have included The Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the Yellowstone National Park, as well as the Southeastern, Northeastern, and New England States. Now, we are adding the "Western USA Including the Rocky Mountains" section.
September Caddis ? Most serious fly fishermen know that mid Fall is the time for the October caddis to emerge but this September we are seeing consistent but sparse emergences of #16 tan sedges with respective free living caddis larvae(Hydropsychidae) that were found by researchers in the 2010 summer seine samples.
I have been concerned about the water temperature in the Great Smoky National Park due to the exceptionally hot summer that we have experienced. I wanted to know if it would be harmful to fish for the pre spawn brown trout. I suspect that the browns will have a good appetite getting in good shape for the rigors of spawning, and as you know when they actually spawn, we prefer not to add the stress involved in catching them.
New England including the states of Connecticut, New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine have some of best streams for fly fishing and they are not unreasonably out of reach for those living in metropolitan New York City. For example Connecticut has two fine trout streams in the Farmington and the Housatonic Rivers.
The brown trout are much like salmon in that they will travel upstream long distances to spawn. It is believed that many of these browns will actually return to the same location where they were born and where they spawned in previous years. For this exodus, the trout need to be in excellent shape as they begin the spawning process which consumes a great deal of energy. They need to be in prime condition!
Dan recently made a pilgrimage back to the homeland of Minnesota with his family. Fortunately, he was able to sneak out for a day of fishing in the bluff country of Minnesota with his brother and son. Thanks for the pic's Dan! Following is Dan's description of the day's events.
There are so many excellent often overlooked trout streams in New England, that we at TroutProStore.com, have decided to create a special geographical section for the New England area. This section is in addition to the already created sections for the Yellowstone National Park, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Northeastern USA and the Southeastern USA.
One of North Carolina’s finest trout streams can finally be preserved and kept in public trust. Yes, the issues of private ownership and ugly development will vanish if we act now! In order to secure the future for delayed harvest management, Trout Unlimited has teamed up with Carolina Mountain Land Conservancy to ensure that the north Mills remains open.
