June ADK Photo Wrap-Up

Moose River Falls

This has been one of the rainiest June’s on record for the east coast.  In the Adirondacks, it seemed like every other day the rivers would be blown out.  Even with mother nature not cooperating, there was still some great fishing to be had.  With the constant and rapidly changing conditions this month, every type of fly fishing (streamers, nymphs, wets, and dries) had their place.  Along with my normal Schroon River fishing, I was able to get up to the West Branch of the Ausable River, again.  One of my favorite days was the last time I was on the Schroon.  I fished a size 10 Stimulator between the pockets on hot mid-afternoon.  The trout were super aggressive and continuously slammed my dry fly throughout the day.  The Adirondacks is an amazing place for fly-fishing, and I feel I have only scratched the surface.
