The cold water temperatures and Covid-19 have kept the fish relatively dormant throughout the early months of the season. There are signs that Caddis hatches might be on their way, especially on Beaverkill and Willow. The cold temperatures have not stopped local fly fishermen bravely fishing for trout in the spring.

How To
How do I properly clean my fishing gear?
There are many types of cleaning techniques that you can use to clean your fishing gear. Some are simple, while others require more advanced techniques. You can use soap and warm water. It is important to rinse the item well after washing it. If you don't rinse it well enough, there's a chance that some dirt remains inside, which could cause bacteria growth. If it is not cleaned properly, it could lead to an unpleasant odor or worse infections. It is best to dry your items thoroughly before you store them. When cleaning any item, you must avoid touching its surface. Germs can be transferred to the object if you touch it.
There are many other things you can do to improve your fishing gear, besides using soap and drinking water. Special detergents and solvents may be necessary depending on what type of gear you have. Some things should not be used, though, as they may cause damage to your goods. One of these things is bleach. Bleach is known to dissolve plastic and metal, so you shouldn't ever use it to clean your fishing gear. Instead, use warm water with a dishwashing solution. Dishwashing liquids that are specifically designed for cleaning fish should be used only. Dishwashing liquids have enzymes and chemical that help to break down organic material such as scales. They also contain surfactants, which help to remove dirt and grime. If you are concerned about stain removal, you can use a stain remover. Oils and fats on the surface of gear are often responsible for staining. Stain removers can be applied directly to the spot where the oil or fat is present. This will remove the stain without causing damage to the underlying material.
The local home improvement center will carry many choices for cleaners for your fishing gear. Most stores carry several kinds of cleaners designed for different purposes. Some cleaners are designed to work with very small amounts of grease while others can handle large quantities. You can pick the one that is most suitable for you.
