This past week has been more
of a week of transition from me. Finally starting to put more time on the trout
streams. However still cannot let go of the Steelhead water. That being said,
the first Atlantic Salmon of the summer has been landed. The steelheads are
still slowly trickling out of the river and providing some good times for the
swinging fly. We have been spending some time exploring some off the grid Brook
trout water. There is a lot of fishing miles and a whole new River and
ecosystem to learn. Getting out of your comfort zones and learning new rivers
is definitely an enjoyable experience. This river definitely does not want to
give up its secrets easily, however every day we learn something new and the
pieces are quickly coming together. The fishing on this river is not
technically difficult but it most definitely has its quirks.
The trout fishing around home
is progressing at it’s normal pace. Oatka Creek this summer, the main focus is
going to have to be along the trail section. There is a mixes of hold over
trout from last summer and newly stacked trout. We should fine some nice size
trout this summer in this section of the creek. The hatches along the trail are
not as intense as other sections of Oatka creek. This will actually help with the quality of
fishing. We should not experience being bugged out, too many bugs on the water.
At this point the Hendrickson and olive hatch is about Long over. We are now in
to the light caddis hatch, this is a size 14-lit olive body with a light brown–
Ginger wing. Expect to see this hatch coming off somewhere between mid to late
afternoon well into evening. This particular caddis hatch is a perfect
opportunity to fish both wet flies and skeeter adult caddis dry flies. We are
also having March Brown’s and soon to come gray fox hatch, this is also a mid
day to late afternoon hatch. We are seeing the first of the sulfurs starting to
hatch in various locations along Oatka creek. The Genesee River, What I
referred to as the upper Genesee in Allegheny County. Has received considerable
amount of rainfall over the last few days. The Genesee should be back to
fishing by mid week. All is well with the fishing world on the Genesee, We got
lots of bugs and the Genesee is fishing good.
