Lackawanna River Trophy section, Lackawanna County, 10/11/16

[mikepafly123]

I managed to land two yesterday in the Blakely area. Decent sized Wild Browns. Both on Copper John size 16. Had a few risers around me but couldn't get them to take anything. Missed one strike.

I am not from the area but it was a decent stream with very easy access.

I've always liked and had success in the riffles and pools by the water gauge and behind the ball park in Archbald. Got some big browns in there.

Please note the Stream/County/Date format that we prefer for stream reports in the Title line.


I've added the date. I can't recall which county this section is located in.
Thanks,
DW

The river has been very low...conditions are tough for fishing and rough for the fish. Please be aware if fishing the river and be kind to the fish!

The gauge at Archbald says 27 cfs.

What flows would you consider best?

 

[Big-Bass]

Just above 100 is great.
