For our freshwater anglers Fall has officially arrived, and with that Fall/Winter state stockings. Stockings begin with select ponds and lakes, so we will keep you posted on updates to our local rivers. In addition, the state will be stocking Seeforellan Brown Trout and Atlantic Salmon. With the amount of water we’ve had this season and some pretty good temperatures there will still be some holdovers from Spring as well. Bug activity has increased, namely Blue Winged Olives (especially on the Housatonic). Saltwater reports have been relatively quiet due to storms and high winds, however conditions are shaping up to be a great week for our local saltwater anglers. Albies have been seen infrequently in our area, while Rhode Island and Long Island have seen great fishing for hardtails with rafting Stripers mixed in close to the beaches and inlets. Silversides, Bay Anchovies, Peanut Bunker (especially), and Sand Eels are all a part of the menu. Read on for more…
