That was when they had the transmitters in the fish to document movements and better understand the resource.
Some fish were documented moving over 70 miles! I think they had a rainbow around Long Eddy started to move once water temp hit 62. Heading up river? Nope, swam all the way down to Narrowsburg area. One from the Lordville area made it into the Willow!
I've got enough of them between Horton and Jaws to make me think they are plenty of wilds established or moving through. From Jaws to Fishes Eddy, I'm catching 60%+ bows. Fishes to Hancock 60-70% bows. It does seem like there are sections that hold browns and only browns. It's kinda strange like they are separated by species in some stretches. It's not necessarily done by water type either. I can think of one flat before a tail out that is screaming big browns. Fished it for at least 20 years and nothing but bows. You go a mile down river to a deep bank along a fast water chute that is prime bow spot... nothing but browns. That river is strange sometimes.
