Hello all,
New fly fisherman here and I’m very happy to find this site.
This will be my first time fly fishing other than a day trip while in college many years ago. I managed to pick up a 5wt 9ft rod and reel with some weight forward floating line and now I need to figure out a good set of flies to start out with. I live in the Lehigh valley and would like to try some streams close to home like the little Lehigh and in particular the Bushkill in Easton.
I'm trying to find some hatch charts for these creeks as I thought that may be a good place to start so I can figure out what types of flies/sizes I should start with, leader size, tippets etc. Also can anyone recommend some streamers and terrestrials that I should have in my box for these streams?
Thank you for your time
