Czech-ing in on N.Y. steelhead fishing; Lou’s new book released

Posted on by
steelhead

This beautiful steelhead was caught in upstate New York using a Czech nymphing technique.

This November I did a bit of traveling and did not fish as much as I normally would in Maine. I did hit the Presumpscot River one morning and nymphed up a couple brown trout.

I then spent four days fishing for steelhead in upstate New York on the Canadaway River. The weather was cold but the fish were there and willing, off and on. Most of the fish were caught on a pink plastic bead (egg imitation) fished under a strike indicator. Others were caught Czech nymphing style on a two fly rig – the point fly was a pink foam egg and the dropper was a black soft-hackle leech imitation. The beautiful fish in the picture was hooked Czech nymphing and took the pink foam egg (with 5x tippet).

The Steelhead were quite active and I did a fair amount of following them downstream (and sometimes upstream) in order to land them. It helps to have a large net. Sometimes though I had no net and had to hand land them.

November fishing continued good

Posted on by

Decent weather continued into mid November and the fly fishing in Southern Maine continued to be good in those bodies of water still open to fishing. The Presumpscott River was particularly good, not only the section near the Sebago dam but further down river below other ponds and dams. Water flows were low making wading and fish spotting easy, and water temperatures were still in the mid 40’s so the fish remained active. See my video of the action in early November. Later in the month flows increased significantly, limiting the fishing options somewhat
The attraction this time of year is the mix of fish you can hook up with. Good size brookies in gorgeous spawning colors are stocked as are large 18 inch plus browns. Holdover fish move up the river from ponds and lower parts of the river. I watched one guy net a wide and fat landlocked salmon that was over 4 pounds, and saw a picture of another 25 inch salmon (caught on a spinner). I also caught chubs and small mouth bass. Like I said, you never know.
Classic Maine streamers such as The Grey Ghost catch fish but nymphing has the highest rate of success. I nymph with copper johns in various colors as well as pheasant tails, and zebra midges. What tippet size to use is a dilemma; finer tippet sizes yield more fish, but breakoff’s are likely if you hook into a horse.

The water levels and fish activity levels fluctuate widely depending upon rainfall. I will end with a relevant excerpt from my book,” Flyfishing northern New England – The Five Seasons”:
Coastal streams that become brackish before emptying into the ocean stay warmer because of the ocean’s influence. Last fall, in southern Maine, the ocean temperature in some of the shallow bays and estuaries was still in the 60’s in early October. If you have never tried fishing for sea-run browns, I recommend it. From the Royal River in Yarmouth all the way down the Maine coast to New Hampshire, many streams have sea-runs. The Maine Sportsman newspaper and other publications give detailed descriptions every year of where to find them. I have a neighbor who every year catches browns over 20 inches from the Royal River, right in downtown Yarmouth. He uses very large lures and flies with lots of flash. I have had my best action with large soft-hackle marabou streamers in yellow and small muddlers. It usually isn’t fast fishing, but it is a thrill every once and awhile to hook one.
