    Dave, I love streamer fishing on the WB when it is high! Pushes the big carnivores to the bank. There are lots of Hendrickson’s and BWO’s around right now but the fish aren’t looking up yet. The WB took a bump last night from the rain but I think it may be OK by Sunday.

    You are driving a wooden boat – what kind?

    Michael,
    The boat is my own scratch built.

    Isn’t it great when NYC can’t hold the river hostage?

    Great fish!!!!! Hopefully she isn’t too nasty come the end of the month.

    We headed to the West Branch this weekend to throw streamers in the high water. The West Branch was 3100 cfs at Hale Eddy so we assumed finding Hendrickson’s was as an exercise in futility. Well, we were SO wrong. I’ve been fishing the Delaware system for years and never seen anything like this. All those big fish were pushed up against back, but they were eating dry flies! We found pods of big fish chomping duns all afternoon.

    Don’t be put off by the high water – the river is fishing really well.
