I was entertaining guest this weekend, so I could only get out for a few hours on Sunday. The fall afternoon was wonderful and I was hoping to snag some smallies on a 4-inch wacky rig. I fished from about 2:00 to 3:30 and didn't even get a bite. The water was high and muddy and the there were lots of leafs in the water. The Gage Height at Port Jervis, NY was about 5.3 feet.
I did get to try my neoprene waiters and they are a great addition to my arsenal of fishing. I got a pair of Field and Stream (with no boot) waders and some accessory boots which go on over top the wader socks. I figured I could still use the accessory boots in the Summer without wearing the waders. There are some locations I fish on the Delaware that are just sooo rocky and potentially dangerous. But even in the winter, these waders should keep me warm in the winter months, should I choose to fish the winter months.
I hear a lot groaning and moaning when the Delaware is high and dirty and my voice can now be added to the list. I am still hoping for a few more good weekends to catch some more walleyes, as I think the bite will be good up to late November.
