The first mile of trout water "Blue Ribbon", Montauk State Park to access the VAT As can be best water in the river for wading fisherman. This water is too low to float, so it acts as a sanctuary for Wade fisherman. Many rainbows, browns and some large ones here.

Statewide trout regulations are in force, and no bait restrictions. Cafes are not stored down here, but many migrate from upstream. As a result, many of the biggest brown of the river have come from this area.
The White Ribbon area can be divided into two sections different. The section first ISS 5 miles from Cedar Grove to Welch Spring. The river here is relatively slow and shallow, and can get warm in the summer. Temperatures increasing from time to time in the mid 70s. In general, trout are stored only in spring and autumn.

Caddis also come during the warmer months, and # 16 – # 20 Elk Hair Caddis will do well.
Nymphing can be a more popular method. All standard nymphs work well, like Prince, Hare's Ear, Pheasant Tail, Copper and Johns. The best year-round bet, however, is an imitation Scud # 16. Scud (small freshwater shrimp) are a food source higher across the river, 365 days a year. They are the best fish around weeds.
Many other techniques also have the fish in the stream. Egg imitation flies probably had more fish than all the combined patterns. Orange, pink, peach, white and all are good. San Juan Worms, and various streamers also work well. The river also works well for spin fishermen. 1/16-1/32 ounce spinners and spoons from almost any brand or color always will the fish. Templates 1/32-1/128 Marabou of oz work very well in black, brown, green and olive.
