Seven (7) Day Fly Fishing Forecast: Improving as the pressure rises

The fishing slowed down due to a low pressure that came through last night. Fishing should improve in the next few days as wea are expected to get unsettled weather for a few days. Gennerally that means cloudy days and good fishing. Try very large herring patterns for cows arriving. We have had several reports of big bass showing up in the Essex, Ipswich River and The Merrimac.
