Large Brown Trout season in Southern NY and CT is almost here

Rain is finally in the forecast. With a flood and the added drop in air temps browns will begin to move up various systems and stake their claim on a nice gravel bar.

Pull out and try a striper fly on the river, you just don't know. Here is one of my go to patterns.
