Recent Rain

I am taking Friday off and hope to get up to the LJ for my first trout fishing of the spring. I am not optimistic.

It peaked nearly identically on the 6th/7th and took three days to drop to 800 and five days to get to 500. I would expect it to drop a bit more slowly this time, especially with more rain in the forecast. I'd still go but, as mentioned above, I'd have some backup plans on places to fish. I don't think you'll see it below 500 until next week.

Unfortunately high flows in May don't assure us of that. June is looking promising, though. There are years where water temps are borderline for fishing the GD. I think it will be safe this year.

I was being sarcastic.

At this point I am probably going to cancel my plans to fish Friday. I would be driving up from Baltimore County and I am just not familiar enough with the other area streams (other than the usual names) to make alternate plans. I could always fish the local tailwater near home, but honestly that does not interest me enough to use a day off work.

Unfortunately my spring fly fishing plans have not amounted to anything. When the year began I had a lot of good intentions to get out and fish the spring hatches and explore some new water. Between work obligations, kids sports, and weather, it has been a wasted spring in terms of fly fishing. The extent of my fishing has been a couple mornings throwing streamers for smallmouth and an afternoon on a local trout stream. The real killer has been spring baseball — both boys play travel baseball and have practices and/or games every day of the week except Fridays. Oh well, that’s life.

So far, my 2025 has been a lousy fishing year, too, but I know better days are ahead for me really soon. My trout fishing has been practically non-existent, and my catch numbers would be pathetically low. I had one good outing in NC PA just a couple weeks ago, but otherwise, most trips have sucked. I have scratched out a couple fish or none at all.

But things are going to be good. They will be.

If its below 600 you would probably do fairly well on big streamers
