NEjitterbugger Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 My friend and I fished a small stream with some small Rapalas and came out with some decent brownies... Quote
Super User flyfisher Posted November 12, 2012 Super User Posted November 12, 2012 Very nice brownies. I caught one myself on Saturday and a few bows and about 20 brookies on the fly rod. Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted November 12, 2012 Super User Posted November 12, 2012 Very nice. I love brown trout fishing. Won't get to go back until the first of Feb though. Jeff 1 Quote
NEjitterbugger Posted November 12, 2012 Author Posted November 12, 2012 Didn't get to try flyfishing this weekend. My friend did but didn't get any, we found a very nice hole in a stream that is like 15 yards across maximum. Only 2 minute walk from my gramps house, excited to get back down there in the spring... ~We did stop in a fly shop down their and he showed us a picture of a 22" brownie he caught in the same stream... ~I'm definatley going to start targeting trout more often, besides stripers and freshwater bass....

B-Dozer Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 Stop by Housatonic River Outfitters in Cornwall Bridge if that's near your gramp's house. good people there, they can tell where some good spots are and what flies to use. http://www.dryflies.com/index2.php Nice catch! Quote
NEjitterbugger Posted November 12, 2012 Author Posted November 12, 2012 That's exactly where I went... Great people indeed, like I said can't wait to get back down there.... Love smallie fishing in the housatonic... ~By the way those trout were caught in the shepaug... Do you know where that is? My gramp lives right on the river. 1 Quote
B-Dozer Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 Yes, I fly fish there and most of the other rivers in this area. http://www.dryflies.com/reports/conditions/ check this out for some other places and their conditions. 1 Quote
NEjitterbugger Posted November 12, 2012 Author Posted November 12, 2012 Thanks, I really wish I could go back down there before it gets to cold. Never knew there were pike in the housatonic until I found that website... Quote
B-Dozer Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 look for the pike on ice-out. you can catch trout in cold weather. golden stone fly work pretty well even in winter. dress warm! be patient. Ask Santa for a flyrod ;-) Quote

Super User J Francho Posted November 12, 2012 Super User Posted November 12, 2012 Small Rapalas on spinning gear is a fun way to fish. I make a point of doing it at least one time out. Some beautifully marked browns you caught there. Nice. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted November 13, 2012 Global Moderator Posted November 13, 2012 Very nice. I love brown trout fishing. Won't get to go back until the first of Feb though. Jeff After our trip to the White River last year, I'm hooked and we're going back for 5 days the first week of April, can't wait Quote
