Trout Fishing Report 6-17-11

Trout fishing on local streams has been really good this week. On the Boquet the fish are very active and have been responding to just about anything anglers have been offering them. The water level is real good and the water temp is in the mid 60's. We had a couple of fishermen in this week who caught (and released) over 50 trout on nightcrawlers in one afternoon. Stop in our shop in Lewis for up to date fishing info.

Hatches on the river are march browns, caddis, bwo's and stoneflies.

Many of the smaller brooks and tributaries are producing some nice catches of native brook trout or "speckles" as they are known locally. These beautiful little fish are plentiful and will readily take a fly, spinner or piece of garden worm drifted into a tumbling pool. A bunch of little speckles fried up makes a meal that's hard to beat.

NYSDEC has a list of trout stocking targets on their website:
