Have driven over the Conowingo damn on the way to the shore many times. Always wanted to try fishing the area, and made the trip today. Maryland you've got a great fishing area. Fisherman's park is on the west bank just a short trip off of Route 1.
There was not any action at first, then I saw six caught between four guys.

Over a month with out getting the line wet. Sun was shining, calm winds, the promise of a great day. Got in the water around 7:30, and fish were splashing all around. Noticed right away what looked like mayflies. Not a lot, but sure was a hatch going on. After over an hour of no action I went back to the truck and got the fly rod.

The river was back in it's banks. Actually a nice level for fishing the Brunner's Island area. The water was murky, but not muddy. Around 2:00pm I made my first cast. With the limited time I had, I kept moving back and forth between a couple of my favorite spots. Thought for sure I'd get something from the brush FishingKevinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08476529980558780154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1829681461247392363.post-1801029440522945422010-01-21T20:32:00.001-05:002010-01-22T19:23:46.852-05:00River Rod & Reel Set up for Wading.Wanted to take some time during this winter weather to talk about what I like to use for wading around the Susquehanna. I won't mention brand's or specific outfits. After all, what you can afford to spend will determine what you buy.
One thing the internet can do is help you determine where to spend your money. For a low end shopper, spend the most money for the rod.

Was somewhat concerned after the steady rain the day before. Packed up the truck and headed for Brunner's Island around 10:00am. Found my usual spot unoccupied, just two fishermen using minnows below me. Water was not very high, but was stained due to the rain, and found lots of debris in the water. Water temp seemed good, there were a few active fish FishingKevinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08476529980558780154noreply@blogger.com0
