Anthony, Thanks for that encouraging report. I’m out of town this week or otherwise would be taking advantage of the relatively benign river conditions. I last fished on Monday, June 10, and also got into a few fish, landing some but getting a lot of bumps without hookups. The river had dropped to a fishable 320 cfs, but more rain was predicted, so I figured I better get out before it all went south again. Apparently other guys had the same idea, because when I arrived at the Asbury section at 10:30 I found three vehicles in the parking area. So I headed downstream to Warren Glen, which I had to myself. Wading and water clarity were marginal but okay. I swung woolly buggers and nymphs. Like you on Memorial Day, I found the fish hit with the fly dangling at the end of the swing but not on the swing itself. Yesterday we arrived on Martha’s Vineyard for our annual week here. I went out to the beach last evening and fished for half an hour with a small Clouser minnow and caught 3 scup (think saltwater bluegills, but bigger) and a striper; if I said the striper was 12 inches long I’d be exaggerating. — Jim Merritt
