for a bottle of cheap vodka (and I mean cheap), the Russian will lug anything up the path. Don't spend more than $8. Popov, or similar quality. Don't listen to his hard luck stories. And whatever you do, don't pay for any scenic flights from the bridge on his home-built airplane -- I don't...

What is going on here, anybody know? Every time I drive up to the Delaware there's been massive landclearing. Is there a casino finally going up? Seems as if a lot of pollution may be heading right into the Neversink directly below?

Thanks for posting. Without this issue there can be no others.

ditto that advice, esp. the "upper guide", i.e., a bare metal guide. If you hook the hook into a "lower" guide (one that is ceramic or another coating to make the line move through with less friction), the hook may bite into the coating and crack it and your line will be cut. (for saltwater...

was on WB yesterday (Wednesday) and watched large gang of construction workers wrestling a huge blue hose across the WB (half mile above Deposit Bridge, in front of farm pool). They have been working there at least several weeks preparing the riverbed. There is an existing gas pipeline buried...

Well.... I dunno. There's always a lag between conditions and the people who have the power to alter conditions. I always thought the more organizations (and people) that complained, cajoled, persuaded, ranted, urged, negotiated, etc. the better, with the goal of festering until enough...
