Susquehanna Fly and Spin Guide Service 2011 Summer Fishing Report

From Susquehanna Fly & Spin Guide Service:
http://susquehannaflyandspin.com/

The Susquehanna River fishing has been great the last few weeks and have had smallies from the 6"-18.5" range coming to the boat for my clients. The catfish have been making appearances along with the smallmouth aggessively attacking our artificial presentations. We have had some good days that the smallies were taking properly presented flies on the fly rod as well. The Carp have been roaming and feeding in certain areas and now is a great time of year to try your hand at these goliath fish that can bend your rod and peel off line like no other fish in the river.

Late summer and fall fishing is upon us and the fishing will be excellent. I refer to this time of year as football season for good reason. Those of you who have fished with me during this time of year know that they will be begin to fatten up for the winter and take on a football like shape and can really put a bend in your rod. Fly fishing for them can be a blast this time of year as we had some days last season where some of my spin anglers gave the fly rod a shot and had success hooking and landing their first smallmouth on fly. On these fall days it is not uncommon to catch 15" to 20" fish reaching the 4.5 lb. mark with 15 to 25 fish days as an average. Whether fly or spin fishing its a great time of year to get your fix before the cold weather sets in for winter. Give us a call to Get Bent and Sling Some String this 2011 Season!
