From the benchWith the river sitting at a clean 435 cfs, wade the mid-river gravel bars and focus your nymphing on the transition zones where fast riffle water dumps into the slower pool heads — that's where trout stack up in November. When the BWO hatch fires between 11 AM and 2 PM, move to the flat tailouts and look for rising fish before you cast; these Housatonic browns get a good look at flies all season and will refuse a dragging presentation instantly. For streamers, work the deep outside bends with a downstream swing early in the morning before the hatch, letting the fly hang and pulse at the end of each swing before stripping back slowly.
