High water puts eggs in the drift and makes already great streamer fishing even better.

I headed to Danbury today for work, but Hartford was jammed up so I took secondary routes to Route 8 to get there. The Farmington was high and rushing as can be. Not one car in that parking lot at the Pleasant Valley bridge area. Smaller streams I observed were flowing pretty high too, but seemed fishable. At least some of them did from my vantage point on the road.Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08858232423819687001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1271872397720787748.post-78806686491144513482018-11-14T07:46:56.203-08:002018-11-14T07:46:56.203-08:00Two typical fall days.
