Me and the beev have a little history. You see, he likes to promote informing total strangers about stomping around in places they would otherwise never know about, in the name of keeping the depressed Roscoe/L.M./ Neversink valley from going bankrupt. His take on it is this...if he can get...

The beaver strikes again. Monotone rambling of nothing important or interesting, complaining of the conditions and lack of fish caught [big surprise there!] and burning spots like he's getting paid for it. Happy to see he at least didn't name one though, but that must be because its were he...

Anyone know? It has been offline [to me anyway] for months. Just wondering, CJ

I live right down the street from there, and yea guys fish it all the time. My advise to you though would be to wait till spring...its a little loaded up with ice at the moment. CJ
