Just Schroon’in Around

casting
I have limited internet acess up here in the Adirondacks, so my posts will be brief and few for the time being.  The Schroon has been fishing great the past two weeks.  I have found new acess points and remote beats that see few flies.  The highlight so far was landing a nice 20 inch landlocked salmon on a hornberg fished as a dry.  The salmon fought me for about five mintues on my six weight.

I love finding new water away from the popular fishing holes.  The fly for the time being is a mini muddler, it has been crushing up here.  I fish it dry up stream, and then I continue to mend and drift it on the swing below me.  Big bushy hackle dry flies with a dropper have also enticed trout in the pocket water.  Trout, smallmouth, and landlocked salmon are still present.  The rest of the MKFF crew is coming up here this weekend to continue exploring the Schroon as well as hitting the legendary West Branch of the Ausable in search of some hogs in the trophy sections.  Sampling of the past weeks below:
