Farmington River Hat Trick 6-13-16
I spent a couple of hours fishing the Farmington River Monday, arriving late in the morning to find that I had a nice stretch of river to myself. I saw that there were some caddis sporadically coming off the water and it appeared that the fish were taking them as they emerged. I began nymphing using a small BHPT in the faster water at the head of this stretch and immediately had a nice rainbow. I had steady action for about the next 2 hours,landing a good mix of browns, bows and one decent brookie, which completed the hat trick.

A nice couple of hours there Pete. The wind has been a bit wild these last few days.

Yes it was a wee bit windy, but the fishing made it enjoyable.

ReplyDeleteAnytime you guys up in the East mention the Farmington you get my attention. You were using one of my all time favorites in the form of the BHPT. Did you land all the trout on the BHPT and were you fishing it with an indicator, or tight lining? Thanks for sharing

I was Euro Nymphing, The BHPT, size 12 was the anchor fly and I took all the fish on that fly.
Nice going buddy!

It was a good day, catching several made it all the better!
It's so cool when you get three different species of trout in one outing.

Yes I agree with. In this particular river it is always a possibility!
