Hunter Mountain Sports & Expeditions's Tip of the Week
With the main body of the stream to high and discolored to fish right now the smaller tributaries will clear much quicker. Now would be a great time to go after the elusive Brook Trout. Grab you six foot rod and head way up stream.

5-Day Outlook as of 7/21/21
The heavy rain over the last few days has left the rivers too high to fish safely right now. It will take a few days for them to lower and clear up. The fishing should be very good after this happens because most fish cannot feed during the high water. Be prepared to switch back to streamers and heavy nymphs as conditions will be more like spring.
Techniques & Tips as of 7/21/21
Current conditions are changing rapidly right now so choosing the correct flies can be a little tricky. Now is a good time to fish a dropper rig. With the current hatches your best bet would be a #12 Stimulator fly with a #16 Prince Nymph tied sixteen inches behind.
