Lower Lehigh river float trip 4/21/18:

Did ok. A little more "urban" than what I am used to when floating say the West Branch in New York but none the less a very interesting stretch of water.
Loads of fast water, and killer deep holes ! I want to hit the upper "gorge" soon. Stuck to jigs and caught fish, by afternoon when the bugs started there were fish breaking surface all over the place. Nice as it's only a 90 minute drive from home.

Glad you had a good day. Sure was a nice one to be fishing. Pretty fish them trout are.

[AndyS]

Each got 10, rolled half as many and had twice that in follows right up to the boat. Really cool stretch of water, boat was very wide and comfortable.
32* at start, close to 60* at the end of the 11 mile float.

Glad the you got in that float trip. How did it compare to other trips in the past?

Good to hear you had a decent trip. With all the river clean ups you do, you deserve a day on the water relaxing.

That was a good report. That is one river I always wanted to fish.

In Pa. life jackets required in boats under 15 feet in length until May 1st.
Loads of white water in the lower section, can't wait to see the upper section.

Awesome, Andy! Looks like a great trip! Beautiful browns.

Some great browns! Any rainbows ? I know they load it with rainbows as well

[AndyS]

We caught one small stocked rainbow. Caught a mix of native and stocked brown trout. Big battle going on trying to stop stocking trout as the native population seems to be doing well, a rock and a hard spot.

Great big river to fish and fairly close to home. Everything swims in there. Watch out for the upper river. It’s used for white water rafting more than fishing. I’ve been there, good times. Looks an awesome trip!!!:D
