What a weekend to be up here! Bugs are coming off and fish are looking up! Guided trips are reporting lots of fish being caught. Monstrous march browns, cahills, BWOs and caddis are all coming off. The big rainbows recently stocked are feeding as well as the many trout the state stocked this spring. The rains from last night are only bumping the water some today, but there isn't much rain in the forecast over the weekend so things will only improve.

Big Rainbows getting stocked into the river today !!! Thank you all for your stocking donation to Freinds of the Housatonic. You made this possible !!

The river is getting into perfect shape. While there are some showers in the forecast for a few days this week, there will not be enough rain to affect the river. The water levels will continue to drop slowly each day and the clarity is also improving. If you're going to be fishing in the mornings, you'll want to have some bright color streamers and chuck these along the banks and in the softer water next to the riffles. You will want to have some caddis pupae and emergers for later in the day. The birds have been working in the mornings and evenings though rising fish are few, the fish are hungry and feeding subsurface. The smallmouth bite is starting to heat up as well. Big rainbows will be stocked this Wednesday!!!
