Current Report
Hello, All
I just put the whole
Month of August Fishing
Reports in one Report again
like July. But, not much to
Report this month. The Water
has been in BAD shape this
Summer, and GAS PRICES!!!!
Well!!!!
.. Anyways because
of those two problems my
fishing and business have
been slow this August. Which
some of you that usually
read my reports or know me,
must have realized things
have been bad, cause I
usually have a New report at
least once or more times a
week. Hopefully these past
storms, and Hurricane
Katrina remains, help our
waterways. I have only been
fishing a few times around
the house.
Falling Springs once
on 08/09/2005 for a couple
hours, only managed one
Rainbow and a Sculpin
(Strange?) , hooked a good
bit. Hoppers were
everywhere, I fished Hoppers
and nymphs (Tricos, scuds, &
midge larva) with all fish
taking the nymphs. Few
Tricos in the Air but not
much fish activity on the
surface or flies, lots of
terrestrials around too.
Water was little low,
Crystal Clear, Really Weedy
(this years weeds are worse
than usual), water temp.
55F.
The Rest of my
fishing was for Carp this
August on Conococheague
Creek The Jig!. I fished
there August 20,23,27,& 30
for Carp. In those 4 days I
fished and average of 2 ½
hrs a day, and managed 6
Carp, 3 Bluegill, 1 Rainbow
trout, 1 Rock Bass, & 1
Largemouth Bass. The Water
Conditions were Very Low,
with a small rise after a
couple storms came
through, The Jig is
usually Stained, and was
Fairly Clear 2 days, stained
1 day (1-1 ½ Vis.), &
Muddy 1 Day - 1Vis. There
has been a few Hexs
Hatching and I Targeted Fish
with large Nymphs #6 Ikes
Hex, #2-10 Whitlocks RFS
Nymphs, #10-12 Hares Ears,
& Crazy Charlies #2-14 Many
Colors. I also Managed to
hook a 6-Carp, the problems
is The Jig is a Tangled
mess of Log Jams, Fallen
Trees, and over hanging
brush, and Snapped 5 of
those 6 off . I also missed
many carp, and a few other
fishes.
In July Report I
posted and ended up fishing
Hickston Run Reservoir )
07/31/2005, while visiting
family, Water was Extremely
Low!!!, muddy in the Channel
and Clear in Main lake. I
caught 7 Largemouth Bass in
about 4 hrs.and hooked a few
others, only 1 small 8-10
fish the rest nice Hefty
14+ Bass. I was Fishing for
Carp but the shallow flats
are dry land I did see 3
Carp in casting distance
feeding, but got busted by
all 3.
The only other News
around the state, I havn't
had the Money to drive
around- exploring, fishing,
Etc. and most of reliable
regional resources havn't
been fishing or driving
around much either, so not
much to report other than
around my house. The
Stonycreek River, Somerset,
PA. had a Liquid Manure
Spill Killing hundreds-
thousands of fish. I been in
touch with Len Lichvar from
TU, SCRIP, Etc. and he's
going to keep me informed
and I'll keep anyone
interested informed also.
Looking forward to
this Fall and Winter,
hopefully the Water
improves. I will be out the
picture for the month of
Sept. I'm heading to NC.
today and will be in NC. &
SC. till around Oct.
Hopefully I'll have some
Exciting Saltwater Reports
and Pictures when I get back
in Oct. We have some fly

mails Catalogs to interested
parties. Any Fly & Leader
