Post Season Begins

With the year round season in the rest of our local waters the post season starts later next week with the fall stocking of selected waters. Makes from interesting fishing going from essential a private park to truly public waters complete with other fishermen or women who maybe be out to fill the grocery basket with some free food. Not to be overlooked is the famous fall run of striped bass, bluefish and false albacore. Plenty of stuff to cast a fly to. Today is also the first day of the winter sessions of our fly tying sessions at the Patchogue library. Time to restock those depleted fly boxes. The pattern of the day is the pheasant tail nymph. This is my favorite and most consistent producer this past season. So no reason to just sit around, plenty to do waiting for next year. Clean that gear, and get tying!
