- I fished the Delaware and a couple area
lakes. The river was up due to run-off
from melting snow. It was a reversal
of the previous week, clear tributaries and
a discolored Delaware. There were a
few boat fishermen. Lots of fishing,
no catching. A local fish market is
selling shad roe, "1st of the
season". So it won't be long
before the shad begin showing up in
numbers. I did manage two small 4
pound carp. It's time to tie
everything under the sun, Deceivers for
walleyes, crayfish for carp, shad flies and
some springtime steelhead flies too.

- Both days I came up empty handed, but I
used the time to try new flies and equipment
while fishing the Delaware. Sunday's
unseasonably warm weather caused many of the
tributaries to be discolored due to run-off
from melting snow. A few others were
fishing; nothing was being caught.
All-in-all, it was a day to get out and
enjoy 50-60 degree temperatures despite the
stiff breeze. A few fishermen were
still fishing Lake Galena even though much
of the lake had puddles on the ice and some
open water.

- The PA Fish Commission is proposing to
establish new striped bass regulations in
the Delaware River and estuary from the
Calhoun Street Bridge down-river. The
new regulations will create an open-year
round season to include a two fish daily
limit (slot size 20-26") from April 1 -
May31. All other months will allow a
two fish daily limit, minimum size is
28". Comments form the public
must be made by January 20, 2009. Read
more here.

- It was cold
enough to ice guides today. I fished late afternoon and
although not much was biting, I managed one
five-pound carp. This time of
year through the spring is a goodtime to
target tribs. It doesn't matter if
you're fishing streams, rivers or lakes,
successful fishing can be found where one
body of water enters or exits another.
Fish flies slow and deep.

- I wish everyone a Happy New Year!
This year's winter in Southeastern PA has
been interesting so far with temperatures
bouncing from the twenties with snow showers
to the sixties with sun and lots of rain
mixed in as well. It's a great time to
be tying or steelheading...more to come in
the new year.
