Musky Sulfer Hatch
The upper Warren County stretch of the Musconetcong was alive with Sulfer Mayflies yesterday after the morning (Monday) drizzle. Just about every pool or the tail of the riffles had trout rising freely. The hatch increased as the afternoon went on. These are large bugs ( about #14 ). The trout were in their feeding lanes and were very easy to spot. Earlier in the day, those same pools seemed void of life until the the bugs came out. It was great to see so many fish over such a wide area.
