Tomorrow is the opening of the trout season in Connecticut. The opening is a week early, it was always the third Saturday in April but for some reason they moved it up a week. That's OK for it enables a lot of younger anglers more time to fish. Most of them will be off from school next week and that will mean fishing instead of computer games.
A big part of the anglers will be out on the states larger rivers, most of them have been stocked over the last few weeks and should provide lots of family fun and many memories. We have been receiving rain over the last few days and it's raining pretty hard as I type this, hopefully the rain will slow and allow the rivers a chance to recover.
I tied up a few flies I'll be trying tomorrow. We will pay a visit to a few small streams and the first fly cast will be a dry.
This is not a new pattern, just an old one with a new twist. It's an Ausable Bomber tied with a CDC wing. It looks pretty good.
The second fly is a soft hackle tied with CDC both as a light dubbing and collar, with a ginger hen hackle.
