We’re off and running! I think I still get as excited about opening day now as I did over 50 years ago. This year was no exception. The conditions were unusually good. After hitting Flat Brook in the am, I fished Asbury from Blue chair to Farmhouse mid-afternoon. High sky, water temp was 50.5, no Eagles, herons or geese. I went 2/6 in about 90 minutes on Golden retrievers and buggers. Nada on nymphs or caddis. Saw one rise. Didn’t get to Baileys.
Flat Brook was ok,but the chilly night temps and rain had them off until we got sun on the water. Found most fish in sunny shallows on the bank side of any seams. Mops and glo bugs were more productive than nymphs and streamers.
