Fishing Report​

July has been hot!

July has been a great month for dry flies in Rangeley.  The fish have been keyed in on taking very big dry flies, which has been awesome.  We often run a small dropper which imitates a caddis off from the big dry.  Clients have been into some big brook trout with each day bringing a shot at a brookie of a lifetime for most.  Trout in the 17 to 20 inch range have been put into the net, and some bigger trout have been lost.  The bigger brook trout will peel off some line and take you down into the depths of the river which have many rocks and logs to  try and break you off.  They head for fast water, and the key sometimes is to let them run because you won't get them back up the rapids.  As we progress through July and August, the key to success will be smaller tan caddis dries and back to fishing more nymphs as waters warm up.  Go early and late, and avoid midday because it will be slow.  Try your best to get trout and salmon into the net as quickly as possible and let them go quick.  Even 5 seconds out of the water can be deadly during this time period.  A quick photo of the fish in the net in the water can be just as beautiful as the "grip and grin" pics that we all love.  Those trout that we've lost have clients hungry for more and wanting to come back next year for a shot at the BIG one.  We're already booking trips for June and July of 2020, so reach out to use for these prime dates before they fill up!  Plan your trip today!
