I gotta fish this river. Ive been working next to it for and driving by it for over 8 years and still haven't thrown a line in.

Nice pics andy!!! The mainstem is deff on fire lately!!! Mikey and the boyz have been lighting it up

Shad run in water below 50 degrees, they just won't eat a fly or dart or spoon unless its more or less 50 degrees and warmer. Remember, American shad are in the herring family and are plankton feeders, so they are not even eating but rather striking at something flashy that mimics nothing in nature...

For somone who hasn't fished since 2017 , you sure are making up fer lost time !! Nice work!!! I have an idea where you are but would rather not say as the dwindling access has been getting pounded...

Have caught them up the east branch as far as fishes eddy and some yrs heard sightings in the lower beaverkill....

The pequest is like the gorge to me.....I will ONLY fish it in the winter when most ppl are hiding in the warmth....the mouth is a gr8 suggestion tho.....could mean multi species madness

Nice holdover!!!
