This week the fishing has continued more or less along the same lines. With continued high temps the fish - both freshwater and saltwater - are responding accordingly, seeking out cooler refuges where they can. For us anglers, the strategy must shift too. Check out those cooler tailwaters and hit the river early and late. If the salt is your thing, be prepared to head out to deeper water and keep an eye out for places where the the fish are more comfortable and active. As always, there is still plenty of action to be had, it just requires a little more thought and planning. Read on for the details!

Northeast Fishing Report: 7/23/20

July 22, 2020

Greetings Compleat Anglers! Our report this week may sound a little familiar. Now that we've entered the summer doldrums, and without any major weather changes, the fishing conditions just haven't changed all that much. Tailwater fishing is still the best bet for trout anglers, and the Farmington and parts of the Delaware system are still providing quality fishing. In the saltwater the action remains east, with anglers on Montauk, Rhode Island, and the Cape and Islands having the best shots at large fish. Read on for the details!

Northeast Fishing Report: 7/16/20

July 16, 2020

The fishing this week is largely a continuation of last week. We're heading into the summer doldrums, sure, so many anglers will need to be a bit more selective to have successful fishing. That said, the region certainly has it's bright spots, and the saltwater action has been fast and furious off Montauk and in Rhode Island and Cape Cod and the Islands. Our recommendation this week is to keep an eye on the tide charts, head further east if you can, and shoot for those early morning and late afternoon windows. Read on for the details!

Northeast Fishing Report: 7/10/20

July 10, 2020

In general the trout fishing could use a little rain to freshen things up, but the bass and pike fishing has been good on our non-tailwater rivers. The Farmington, as usual this time of year, continues to fish well. In the salt, the action has shifted to Montauk, Rhode Island and Massachusetts, but anglers are still finding action along the Connecticut Coast and throughout Long Island Sound. In short, anglers may need to be a little more strategic in selecting where to fish, but plenty of good options abound. Read on for all the details!
