He's cast as a top fishing guide
As a child, Gary Mauz was so dedicated to fishing, he would go camping by himself and spend all day exploring the best fishing holes along the Neshaminy Creek, especially where it flowed into the Delaware River. Mauz, 43, still loves to fish. But now, he's generally not alone - he's either guiding or instructing others in fishing - and his years of experience have taken away some of the guesswork in finding good fishing spots. His business, the Delaware River Fly Fishing Guide Service, is based on his knowledge of the area. His clients often include tourists who like to hear a bit of local history while they're fishing. As a professional guide who guarantees that you will catch fish, he also relies on his ability to read the water surface. He looks for places where a strong current can carry the line, and where slight impressions on the surface might indicate where the water is deeper and where fish might hide.
Web site gives peek at aquatic insects
Fly fishermen who chase freshwater trout throughout North America now have the ability to get a new detailed peek into the world of aquatic insects which form the forage base for the likes of rainbows, brookies and browns. The web site www.troutnut.com was re-launched in late August and it offers a detailed encyclopedia of mayflies, caddisflies and stoneflies. Site developer Jason Neuswanger has gathered thousands of color closeup photographs of trout stream insects. Neuswanger says the web site offers much more than can be found in the hundreds of books on the subject. "The best books were written before I was born," said Neuswanger, a Cornell graduate, "and since that time technology has lifted some big limitations." Neuswanger covers the behavior of the stream side insects, which vary as much as their appearances.
Carson Rivers, Calif, to be planted before Labor Day
BLUE LAKES AREA, CALIF: Dave Kirby of the Woodfords Station (530-694-2930): Both Upper and Lower Blue were fishing strong with a number of limits. Shore fishermen using inflated nightcrawlers or Power Bait.
BRIDGEPORT RESERVOIR, CALIF: Randy Picton of the Bridgeport Reservoir RV Park and Marina (888-377-1677): The fish have moved out of Buckeye Bay into the Rocky Point and Rainbow Point areas of the lake. Bait fishing is still best with nightcrawlers and cheese baits. Vary leader length or fish the top down. Fly fishers: Midges, Damsel larvae, Callibatis or mosquitos are now starting to appear. Trolling is still very good from the Marina north to the dam. Try silver/black Rapalas or red/gold Buoyants. Three to six foot depth, slow troll.
CARSON RIVERS AND NEARBY WATERS, CALIF: There will be two fish plants before Labor Day by Alpine County, in addition to the normal plants by DF&G.
