Looks like its time to break out the ice skates...lol, did someone dump ice on the gauge?

Would have to be liquid nitro at that speed!! Lol

Rio leader to tippet ring...I've been stuck on upmqua tippet fer over a decade...it has the least memory of any tippet out there...before that was always orvis tippet....never use the expensive flouros but here good things from others

Temps for both air and water continue to drop up there. The B-kill is the "worst", but has 63 degree water. The West at Hale Eddy is a chilly 48F. Rain is coming along with mostly cooler temps day and night. Good luck up there! How was your trip rusty?? Synopsis? Hot, low conditions day one on the ...

Have a great trip! Hope you see the Beaverkill's green drake hatch! I'll prob spend a few evenings on the b kill as the days and evenings will be cool, keeping the water temps down ....however I almost always spend more time on the mainstem....good luck to you as well!!! Temps for both air and wate...

Where does the upper SBR officially start? One would think at the outflow of budd lake where it's super tiny, but what do I know?? Sorry, the separation between upper and lower SBR is where? I guess that could be up for debate?? Some would consider the high bridge falls to be the end of the upper.....

They were gorging on Sulphur emergers, and any other bug that came into view, aggressive and unwary! This was on the SBR, where? I'm not telling. I've anecdotally been hearing from many anglers catching both native brookies and wild browns in the upper SBR and Musky. I'm thinking the stocking chang...

You've probably seen some variation on this: The guy cranks in a nice fish, then proceeds to handle it (plenty) with dry hands. (Guess he intended to keep those hip waders he was wearing dry for the duration.) Guy then tosses the fish back into the current and takes out a rag to wipe the slime off ...

Fished yesterday fer about an hour...17" rainbow 19" brown and 17"brown in that order...this morning better water temps, caught three again but hit the trifecta brown,r,b in that order....all within 100yrds of the trailer.....this rain will help all river systems in the comming days....if the river...

My 20th Trout Louts trip with a great group of guys and gals. We will be at the Dreamcatcher Lodge on the banks of the West Branch through the Holiday weekend, fishing dry flies, telling lies, and drinking fine whiskey while sharing lots of laughs. Then it's full on field season where I will have l...

I prefer to wet wade from May onward. The one exception is if I am going to be wading waste deep or more for extended periods in a tail water. Last fathers day I fished a tail water with temps in the low 50s-it was bizzare as the air temp got into the high 80s/low 90s and my face was sweating but m...

I dont like balls deep wet wading but knee deep in dead of summer fer smallies is always refreshing!!! Wtg on the early season dunking!!

Welcome back...nice fish for the mainstem!!
