Hey guys, The NYC TU Chapter is helping to coordinate a workday June 1st, next Saturday. We're assisting FUDR in in a one-day, hands-on outdoor conservation project to aid the group’s efforts to improve community access and trout habitat on the Delaware River. The project is co-sponsored by...

I'm wondering about repairing spots on a graphite rod where the finish has worn off or chipped. I've got a rod where this has happened in a couple of places. The graphite underneath is fine I just want to touch up the finish to protect it from flying clousers and other hazards. Is there a...

I headed out on Saturday despite everyone else in the group deciding not to go and despite the rains because, when you need to fish you just need to. I picked the Norwalk River as the first stop because it was one of the closest places that I actually knew would produce a few fish...

I just picked up a copy of "The Fisherman" which claims on its cover to have information about locations and techniques for fishing for stripers in the Hudson River. Naturally, the article contains no information on places to fish, and just recommends that anglers bring their boat up and fish...

I just purchased a used Scott S3 8' 6" 3wt fly rod. I've heard great things about Scott and this particular rod and the deal was too good to pass up. I will follow up this post with a full review as soon as I receive the rod and take it for a test drive. I plan to use it as a dry fly and light...

So I haven't been fishing at all lately. Between work and looking for a wedding venue I have no life of my own anymore. But that doesn't mean I don't still spend most of my time thinking about fishing. While we were up looking at a venue in Garrison NY I saw some small black bugs on the snow...

I've been experimenting with some new materials in preparation for my usual winter nymphing regimen. I've been tying some heavy anchor flies for tandem rigs. This time I wanted to incorporate some flashy material to trigger strikes in the colder weather. Usually people use a "hot-spot" but I...

I'm visiting family in Southeastern Pa and was able to get out for about an hour both yesterday and today. Yesterday I fished below the confluence of the various branches, just upstream from the Delaware Border. Today I went back to a place where I caught 2 fish the last time I was in the area...

Anybody know if you can camp on State Forest land in CT? I know in NY, like in the Catskills for example, you can do backcountry camping away from organized campgrounds if you stick to certain guidelines. Anyone know if the same is true in CT? Trying to get up to fish the farmy this weekend but...

My girlfriend and I took a trip up to the Finger Lakes to celebrate her success in taking the GRE. We stayed at an amazing B&B in the town of Pine City (not quite the Finger Lakes but close enough). One funny thing that happened on the ride up, we passed through a cloud of mayflies (March...

So in a few days, I'll be heading from Southern Ohio to Southeastern PA on my way back home. I figured it would be fun to break up the long drive with a couple of hours fishing one of the central PA limestoners. It looks like I'll be driving along the PA Turnpike pretty much the entire way so...

Another legal victory for conservation and trout on the issue of turbid water coming out of the Shandaken Tunnel and messing up the Esopus. Hopefully now something will actually change. It has only been 9 nine years! Victory on Esopus Creek | Riverkeeper

Does anybody out there have a picture of the wooden trout on the garbage cans in downtown Roscoe?

My dad and I went over to the Carmans on Thursday and spent part of the day wading around looking (unsuccessfully) for some trout. We started at the cement dam and made our way upstream to duck blind #6. We had previously fished the tidal section with similar results. I have to confess that I...

I am looking for a recommendation for a campground nearby to fishable water where there is stuff to do besides fishing (kayaking/canoeing/hiking etc). I managed to convince my cityslicker girlfriend to go camping for labor day so I need to find a place where I can fish. My normal spot, Woodland...

Jamiep, Jlajoie and I are thinking about heading up to fish the Delaware this weekend. None of us have fished it before. We drove around and scoped out some sections of the east branch (Harvard/Bump Rd) but couldn't find anywhere to access the river and it looked like drift boat water anyway...

I fished up by the New Croton Dam this morning near Croton-on-Hudson. The water was a stunning 76 degrees, even all the way up by the dam. Does anyone know if this is normal for this river? If so I have a hard time believing it holds trout since it must get significantly warmer when we have...

I hauled this beast out of the Ramapo on Saturday at the end of my first day euro-nymphing. I can't find a listing for the New York State record creek chub but I found that the Wisconsin record is 11." This guy was probably 14" and smelled horrible!:beingsick:

I managed to sneak out for a half day on the water today. Took the train up to Croton Falls and fished the West Branch of the Croton. For the first hour of fishing I wasn't sure I was in the right place. Having read the TU Croton Watershed Guide I was expecting something totally different from...

I know not many people on this forum fish the Mianus (:fart:) here but I just wanted to post this anyway. I lost a grey plastic box containing most of my dry fly collection this past weekend in the parking lot near the red barn on the mianus. If you by some miracle found it and want to give it...
