{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Lehigh River in Poconos

Bill,

  The Lehigh is a tailwater, but the flows are regulated for rafting and not fishing.  Check the flows for the Francis E. Walter Dam.  Rain will affect the flows too, because there are so many spring creeks that flow into the Lehigh.  On the other hand, this keeps the water cold all the way down to Slatington when the flows are normal.  I've heard news of good hatches on most of the northern part throughout the year.  You can access the river almost anywhere, due to the D&L bike trail that follows most of it.  Just be very careful, the river bottom is mostly slippery rocks.

Where in the area will you be?

Not sure about that miracle mile, been fishing in the area for 6 years and never heard of it.

Happy almost Friday - - 

Anyone have experience with the Lehigh River up in the Poconos?  Heading up there this weekend and thinking of dropping a line - - It is a tailwater so hopefully tomorrow's rains don't make too much of a mess.  Any tips/tricks or recommendations for shops, other fishing in that neck of the woods would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks
