*Remember, we are still open and offering pick up options on orders as well as shipping out orders to customers. Let us know what we can do to help get you through this difficult time. Thank you already for those who have continued to support us these past few weeks. And please think twice before venturing too far just to go fishing. Much of the outbreak in our region has come from folks living in the more densely populated areas of New York and New Jersey traveling to the Poconos. We all have to do our part to keep this virus contained.
Wow, April already! Bugs continue to trickle off, giving an opportunity here and there at a riser, but the higher flows and windy days have left nymphing and streamers as the more productive tactics. Flows remain on the high side, but the clarity is good. After kind of a crappy week, looks like this weekend and the beginning of next week are going to be pretty nice. At least something to feel positive about.
*The stretch of river from Uniondale to Carbondale is closed until opening day, April 18, and remember to get your 2020 fishing license!
