Up in the ADK's some landowners stretched wire with a sign saying no trespassing across waters passing thru their property to keep canoer's/kayaker's out. Lots of legal battles fought and still going on.

If I float down on my kayak. I usua...

Re: West Branch Upper Delaware Wild Browns

The other issue is with the former Hale Eddy boat ramp. I haven't floated down the WB in years because of this. As someone with a drift boat, I'd fish the Main from April until usually the first week in June or whenever it got too hot. Then I'd move to the WB. I'd normally put the boat in at Styles...

Re: West Branch Upper Delaware Wild Browns

I was talking to a guide and good friend that lives on the lower WBD just yesterday after I posted last. He agreed that the intense pressure is changing trout behavior, and even during hatches, we are seeing far fewer trout rise to flies. I watched in horror last late April and early May when I spe...

Re: It took me 48 years to get this

Nice! The Musky also has a few that either come in from the Delaware or wash over the Lake Hopatcong dam some years. They aren't much when it comes to a fight, but they make up for it on the table IMO. Very tasty fish! Yep. It came in like a wet rag. no fight. I was told it taste like lobster ??? I...

Re: patience is rewarded !!!

Got it and that's the one I thought it was. It's toast BTW. No date yet. thats why I wanted to fish it before it goes down ;) . It looks pretty deep @ the spill way. then quickly shallows out. Typical of a dam's plunge pool. Very deep, but very short in length unlike a healthy pool which will be sh...
