Though we're still a few weeks away from the transition to fall fishing, we've had some solid options this week especially for saltwater anglers. Bigger blues and some Bonito are starting to show in earnest, a sign of things t to come. While most trout rivers remain low and hot, we've had a few recent slugs of rain which should inject a little fresh energy into the equation. If you're thinking of hitting the water this weekend or upcoming week, read on for the latest word, from south to north...
Well considering that it's now august, the fishing has been fairly decent. Not great, of course, because it is pretty darned hot out there after all, but given the conditions we’ve been surprised at how well some folks are doing. Yes you’ll need to be more selective in where you fish and when - early mornings, later in the evenings - all part of the drill for this time of year. But for folks who are targeting wisely, there is definitely some action around. Okay, without further ado, here’s the roundup, from south to north...
Well there are still some good fishing opportunities despite being in the dog days of summer. Recent rain has freshened up trout rivers in a few areas and saltwater fishing is still strong in Montauk, and has been surprisingly good in a few other areas as well. Read on to get the latest details from south to north...
Well if you have been paying any attention to the news or weather this upcoming weekend you know that we are in for a heat wave, with temps around 100 or more in many areas. Yikes! As such, it's worth factoring that into your fishing plans, and making sure that you and the fish are both able to beat the heat. Make sure to take a break from the sun and if you can get out early or late, you'll have your best shots at fish, in fresh and saltwater both. Without further ado, here's the roundup from South to North...
As summer settles in; conditions are changing. Making adjustments to where and how you fish makes all of the difference. The fishing is still great if you know where to go. We are seeing fishing improve dramatically in places and begin to tail off in others. Typical summer trends are beginning to take hold and the anglers who are catching fish have responded accordingly. Out East the Saltwater fishing has been lights out. Montauk especially, has become the hot spot. Trout fishing is all about tailwaters. No matter which state you are in, finding cold water is key...
Well Compleat Anglers, here's our first report for July, fresh off some Independence Day festivities! This 4th of July weekend is shaping up to be beautiful one which should see lots of folks out there on the water, soaking up the sun. With temps on the climb the fishing has changed a bit over the last week and will likely continue that way unless we get some rain and cooler days. Trout anglers will soon have to adjust to mornings and evenings while targeting cooler tailwaters, while saltwater anglers hoping for big fish will have to explore deeper, cooler waters. That said, there is still plenty of action out there and there is no better way to celebrate the weekend than getting out there and doing what we love most - fishing! Without further ado, here's the roundup from south to north...
Well Compleat Anglers, here's our last report for the month of June. The fishing has remained excellent across much of the Northeast, more so than usual thanks to the cooler spring and plenty of bait found out in the sound. We don't know how long it will last, so it's a good time to get out there and make the most of it. You never know when things will start to get challenging. For saltwater folks, we're coming up on the new moon which is the best time to take a shot at a big fish. Don't miss it! Here's the roundup from south to north...
Greetings Compleat Anglers! Well the beat goes on here in the Northeast, in terms of quality fishing and a little rain both. No, we haven't had crazy rain like we did this spring, but we've had enough to make trout anglers keep an eye on the flow conditions. That said, the fishing conditions, with the exception of some of the smaller stockie streams, continues to be really strong, and saltwater anglers also had very strong action this week. Here's the roundup from south to north...
Greetings Compleat Anglers, welcome to this week's report! The good news is that not much has changed since last week and conditions are still very good for fresh and saltwater anglers alike. Schoolies have been plentiful from New York all the way up through southern Maine, and rivers are in that great sweet spot with reasonable flows, attractive water temps, and pleasant weather. We know we sound like a broken record, but it's true - now is the time to get out there and make the most of it. Here's the roundup from South to North...
Well the fishing has stayed strong in the northeast over the last week. A few rivers, especially some of those prone to higher pressure, have seen a lot of anglers over the last stretch but that's to be expected when the fishing is good. Best of all the saltwater fishing has only gotten stronger with good numbers of stripers up and down the coast and anglers seeing plenty of action. As with last week, it's a good time to be out there. Here's the roundup, from south to north...
Greetings Compleat Anglers, and welcome to this week's fishing report. We know many of you were able to get out on the water over Memorial Day weekend and make the most of the amazing weather. Crowds notwithstanding, many folks had tremendous fishing on rivers and in the salt. There has been a bit of rain in the region over the last two days, but as we turn the unofficial corner from spring to summer, conditions are looking great. Here's the roundup from south to north...
Well Memorial Day Weekend is looking like it should give us some fantastic fishing weather across the Northeast, with a little cloud cover and temps in the mid-to-upper 70’s through Monday. You can’t ask for much more than that, especially after the cool, wet spring we’ve had thus far. It should make for some excellent fishing - if you don’t already have plans to get out there you should!
