Had to work for 'em today on the Salmon River Ct.

Connecticut trout fishing report 6/5/11: It could not have been a more beautiful day here in Colchester Ct. Today was somewhat overcast with temperatures hovering in the high 60's and coming off a cool night made the water temperature perfect for catch and release. With spring stocking complete we had to walk off the beaten path and hunt our quarry were few have troden. Seemed like rainbow trout were the domninant catch today, Tracy caught 2 rainbows and I caught 3 with a smattering of salmon parr once again.

I've got just a couple of more trout fishing trips planned as rain seems to be alluding us once again. I hope to get up to the Ramapo in Jersey once more during the week, and Thursday night Tracy and I are heading up to Trout Town USA! (Roscoe NY) for a one time appearance at the Beaverkill. Also planned for next week is a saltwater trip out on Long Island Sound aboard the Shamrock with my buddy Mike.

Stay tuned for more fun and adventures. I will be sure to take lots of pictures next time around.

Riffles, Sniffles, Salmon and Trout

Connecticut Trout Fishing Report 6/4/11: Well the title tells it all! I am suffering from allergies like never before. With a runny nose and water itchy eyes, I still managed to don my waders and head to the river. That is the the Salmon River here in Connecticut. We only had an hour or two to fish before darkness set in but we made the best of it. Tracy caught a nice brown to start the evening and I caught an 8 inch native brookie and a brown. Also plentiful tonight were the Salmon Parr. They were chomping the roostertail and just about anything else they could latch onto.

I should've had the fly rod out tonight as the caddis hatch was just insane with fish rising to the occasion. Also about were some sulfers, cahils, a few little green stoneflies and some slate drakes. Seemed like the caddis were the main attraction for the fish. Oh well I will try the fly rod tommorrow we shall see what happens!
