Pre-Season Fly Fishing on the Mianus River

Waders, Water and Some Willing Trout
Sorry folks, no tips, tactics or advice in this one, just a short video of trout in the Mianus River. And plenty of them! With the river recently stocked by the state, the trout have yet to spread out of their hatchery-bred instinct to pod up. Fortunately for them, the river is open only for catch-and-release, single, barbless hooks, until Opening Day on Saturday, April 18. I did my best to get out there and "educate" as many of them as I could so they're a bit smarter once the season opens. Now it's your turn. Please obey the regulations and handle the trout with care so they are still there for the May hatch of sulphurs and cahills. Click here for directions to the Mianus River Trout Management Area.
