The last week is February brought unseasonably warm temperatures for the Northeast with highs reaching towards 50F. Of course, when your fishing the upper Deerfield, weather and temperatures are unpredictable. Morning sunny skies on rt. 2 in Greenfield quickly vanished once you hit Zoar Rd. Unexpected rain/snow/sleet showers delayed the morning bite, but once the sun burned through those clouds, the browns turned on!
We floated the upper stretch with float tubes and started to hook up with browns towards the end of the Upper C & R. The lack of snow was resulting in perfect flows, but expect their to be some runoff this week with the March 1 storm we received.
The forecast looks promising for this weekend! I've got openings this weekend and next week. The browns are eager and hungry.
