BEAMOC-you are absolutely correct on your 2 statements.1)there is in fact a restriction in place on the entire Acid Factory pool from 7/1-8/31 and 2)yes Walt is VERY good like that.

Horton Brook always holds big Rainbows.If you walk along the top of "the wall"(old rte 17) you can usually spot the larger fish and target them.On another note heard a story that Walt from Catskillflies got into it with a Russian who was fishing that part of the river with salted minnows last year.

I used lamprey larvae while fishing for smallies around Worthington State Forest Campground in my youth.If you walked along the sandy banks in Summer they squirt up out of the ground in front of you.Grey in color, about 3-4 inches in length and wiggled like nothing else.The smallies couldn't...

I was going to say in an earlier post that you sound like you'd be one of those guys in the boat and look you beat me to it. You didn't get the gist of my argument at all.I never said it was "my river" and yes I'm well aware of the fact that the Willowemoc is public water for all of us to...

dcarble-I checked the link you provide and it lists 23 TU chapters as supporters of FUDR instead of the over 30 that was posted earlier.Of those 23, 13 have accessible links to their websites.Of these 13, 2 mention their support for FUDR.One said it is headed by a member and supported by the...

I was told for the the third time(just last night at my local chapter meeting) by my chapter president that TU is no way whatsoever in support of FUDR.BUT no longer are they against them at the moment.TU is at this time just observing the current agreement and waiting for the results of the...

Scott-kids in tubes are a totally different thing than 3 guys in a raft who should know better.I'm not familiar with the Brodhead myself but,Wulff Run is at best 25 feet across.If it was just some daytrippers who were out enjoying the river and the scenery or what have you,I could accept that...

Johnw-was the guy in question you mentioned in a yellow kayak?I have seen him before taking out at Horton Brook and had a nice chat with him myself about stream etiqutte. And Fab-yes you are correct in your statement.The Willow and Beaverkill are public waters.But so are the Esopus,West and...

Take Rte 80 west to county rte 15/Sparta exit(don't remember the exact number of the exit).Take rte 15 north till it comes to the rte 206 junction.Proceed onto 206 and it eventually crosses the no-kill section of the river.Please note that this is a quick summarization and that the trip up once...

I was fishing up on Wulff Run on the Willowemoc on Friday morning 6/11.Worked my way downstream from the bridge to the fish the rocky bank where the big sippers like to hold and to get some space to myself.3 other gentleman were on that stretch of river but we all spaced ourselves out and had...

Can anyone tell me what the funky stench is from regarding this river?I fished there once.ONCE!I had to hose-down my waders with with soap for nearly 2 hours to get the smell outta them.

I'm pretty sure that if you pitch your tents on anyone of the islands in the river you're allowed 1 night overstay.But don't quote me on this.

Either one actually.They both work superbly.I used the brown colored exclusively until my first trip up the 'Daks to the Ausable where the color used there is orange.Now I use both and get same results with either one.Although the orange stands out a little better in fast water.

The river you mentioned Oasis in the Elk Refuge is Flat Creek and it is true,it does not open to fishing until mid August to protect the Cutthroats that spawn therein.But there are other rivers in the area that fish pretty well during July.2 of these are the Gros Ventre and the Hoback.While not...

Fish "the Wall" at Horton Brook Run on the Beaverkill with an Ausable Wulff and you will become a fan of that fly for life.Great visibilty on the water,imitates a vast variety of insects and attracts big fish.Best Rainbow I've ever caught on the BK was with this fly.
