Finished off the end of the general open water fishing season with a bang on September 30th. The morning started out with frozen guides and slinging streamers, and then went to dead drifting little red nymphs mid morning through the afternoon. This particular river is catch and release only, with good reason. The fish are stacked up right now making their spawning runs and are very aggressive. Brook trout and landlock atlantic salmon are in their spawning stages. Caught a few brookies over 18"; the biggest being 22", 3.5-4lb (my new personal best on fly tackle). My buddy caught a pretty impressive salmon that was probably 22", 5-6lb. One of the most memorable days on the water in my life.
Enjoy.
