Nov.25 2016 Decker’s fishing and events update

Happy Thanksiving Weekend!

No time to waste my friends, so let’s get to the Decker’s update! After the week or so of fl0ws in the upper 40’s, we’ve had a minor increase and we are now back at 62.5 (cfs) below the Dam, with a flow of 89 (cfs) posted for Trumbull. Flows through Decker’s are in the 65-70 range. Fishing continues to be pretty good, with BWO’S coming off throughout the day. Busy with friends and family over the holiday, I haven’t found much time to get out and fish myself, but I have been watching the fish from the banks and observing the rise, as it seems to be occurring almost religiously from about 11:00-3:00! If you’re up for fishing the dry-flies, be sure to cover lots of water and look for rising fish sipping on the BWO-duns that have been literally blanketing the surface.  On the nymphing side of things, I’ve been working the faster riffles and drop-off runs with good success on the red zebra, miracle midge, chocolate thunder, and a black, bead-headed rojo-midge. It’s pretty chilly up here right now, currently 24, as I write this at 8:30 in the morning! Warming up today, with plenty of sunshine and average temps in the mid 50’s.  If you are need of flies, gear, guidance, or just some general information about the local fishing in Decker’s, be sure to stop in and see the folks at FLIES AND LIES or visit them at http://www.flies-n-lies.com.  Also, a note for those that are cutting XMAS Trees in the Pike National Forest today, here is the link to all the current information.

Until next time, have a great holiday weekend and I hope to see you on the river soon!
