General Update:	At the current level (297) the flow is still slightly high... at least for good surface activity. Tricos are on and fish are feeding on them..just not on the surface like the should be! Start tying and buying all your Trico patterns! Emergers, Adults, Spinners... this will last until first frost! Helpful Tip: If you tie a dropper off of an adult caddis, you will be able to see these tiny flies a whole lot better.. and have more fish rising to your offering! If you are unfamiliar with this setup, email, call or stop in the shop! We are happy to help.
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!
