ANGLERS VISITING OUR AREA.........SPECIFICALLLY THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE JUST FISHED THE DELAWARE RIVER (OR OTHER STREAMS IN NY'S CATSKILL REGION) OR MARYLAND'S GUNPOWDER, PLEASE CLEAN YOUR BOOTS AND WADER WITH A DILUTED BLEACH SOLUTION, OR HOT WATER (OVER 140 DEGREES f) AND LAUNDRY DETERGENT--IT MUST SOAK FOR AT LEAST A HALF HOUR. DIDYMO HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED IN THESE WATERSHEDS.............Or even better yet, get a second pair of boots and waders to wear only in infected waters. It's the only sure way not to spread Didymo. BE RESPONSIBLE-DONT SPREAD DIDYMO TO Central PA!!

Please remember to purchase your 2009 Fishing Permit.

River Fishing Report

A good bet to catch a fish now is to stay on the bank and chuck big streamer and stonefly immitations tight along the banks, or wade carefuly and fish the pools and braids. Try fishing generic nymphs (PT, HE, caddis larvae, green weenie, brown/golden stones, Glo-bugs, and even some sucker spawn) and stripping streamers by the banks. Get flies down into slow, deep pools. Also, with current water conditions....you do not need to go finer than 4X tippet with nymphs and 2x for streamers.
