Alberto Rey5-Day Outlook as of 8/1/22
We have some scattered rain coming throughout the week. So just keep an eye out on the forecast before you go out! https://waterdata.usgs.gov/ny/nwis/uv?site_no=04213500
Techniques & Tips as of 8/1/22
Indicator nymphing will always be productive. Nymphs are always working great (stoneflies, p. tails, hares ear, prince nymphs). Although if you like fishing streamers, this is the time of year to do it. Warmer water temps will make those fresh run fish incredibly aggressive. Big fresh fish will eat swung flies incredibly aggressive.
