Fishing News
In 2009, my clients and I enjoyed the best fishing I have ever experienced on the Housatonic. On most trips we had amazing fishing, catching on average 20 trout between 12-18 inches. Most of these trout were the result of the DEP stocking 18,000 trout in 2009, as opposed to the normal alotment of 9,000. The large rainbows being stocked by HRO over the last few years has also made the Hous one of the best rivers in the country to target big bows, some of which are over 20 inches. These fish continue to hold over from year to year and are now spread over 10+ miles of river, giving visiting anglers more choice on where to fish. Last summer was cold, and wet and we had days in August when the fishing was fantastic to big bows and bass. Best thing about it was that no one was fishing. The great fishing continued all year, right up through November and December with fish rising to midge patterns and olives in a foot of gin clear water. In my opinion, the best kind of fishing! My prediction for 2010 is that the fishing will be even better because the DEP is going to stock another 18,000 browns and rainbows this year. Also, because of the wet summer in 2009 we should experience a much higher holdover percentage rate than in previous years. The high water made it difficult for birds of prey to capture the trout and the trout never got stressed from high water temps. Come up and float the river with me and I will show you what I am talking about. |
