Specifics and Tips:

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 THE TULLY!!
Click here to learn more about DIDYMO. This is a real threat to all of us!




Other Information: Check out our Fly Tying and Fly Fishing Educational Programs - Fly Tying Classes or Fly Fishing Schools.
Be sure to stop in the store next time you visit the Tully... we will be happy to share our favorite fly patterns with you.

As always, we would like to stress carefully reviving and releasing all fish caught in Tulpehocken Creek. Please practice and advocate catch and release in all streams that can support year round fishing, especially those precious streams that contain wild trout.
