Joe's presentation is insightful and honest; I sat in on one last month. It is a worth a look if it is convenient. As a guide, I have floated with him and he remains my 1st choice of guides.

IMO... I'm hard pressed to think anything to the contrary than it isn't an issue of not caring or learning from the tradegy of Ivan's overflow...I think the officials appointed to operate the watershed are not competent and clearly are not qualified to manage the system. I would even make the...

If anyone is interested in a country home eight miles southeast of Roscoe and 10 miles east of Kellams Bridge you can PM me. Property is ten acres with views and ponds, three bedroom home. It will be listed in the spring with a local broker for $360,000. I'll discount the brokers commission for...

Oasis man Don't know if you ever got a reply...I have an Outcast and I inflate it using one of the compressors I think mentioned; $40 Sears electric. With an invereter I plug into the accessory outlet in the car if I inflate at the river. I use an adapter like the one in the link here to...

I'm also interested. I hope someone has experience with them and posts a reply.

Joe, my thughts are with you. I'll call you soon. Michael

Shawn I don't know either what level the three reservoirs would have to be at to absorb the dramatic in flow of water from this storm but after reading the article that quoted the supervisor of NYC responsible for the dams stating that: Quote: Ian Michaels, a spokesman with the New York...

IMO, No. When we pay claims we have never looked to subrogate for reocovery from a Gov't party like the DEC in this case. Shoulda, coulda released more water is not cause enough. The Flood Insurance program is Gov't backed and it won't go against NY in my opinion either. But on the other hand...

You asked about dinner, the above are good but if you want lunch you can't beat Lydias on PA 191 for a good burger. Michael M.

Jon is certainly right about the slope of that hill presenting a challenge. Does anyone have one of those plastic kid's snow sleds? With a rope we could bunge the bags to the sled and pull it up from the roadside. I have rope and will bring it, I'll even throw a 3k weight hoist and several...

Dennis Let's hope for the best. I'm going up Wednesday evening through Monday myself. It's either fishing or painting the house and I'd rather fish! Michael M.

Hi Bruce. I've tried to search but I can't find where to get online data on the current release out of Cannonsville. Is there a site you got the 155 from in the above post? Thanks Michael M.

Do they hate cold water;) If they do the NYDEC could start a new campaign slogan "Stop the flatheads, spill the cold water" Always looking for another arrow to put in the quiver Michael M.

I fished the WB this morning, started about 6:30 and stayed until 10:00. Some tricos started coming off later but I have to say there were not many bugs at all. I didn't see but a few fish come up. The only fish I took was on a streamer. Started just above the Hale Eddy Bridge and finished down...

No strike...the sudden cold water releases has everyone down for a few days! Michael M.

I think I saw the same garbage two weeks ago but it is not at the Gamelands, it is up river past the abandoned shack; actually it is between the shack and WBA. You can't see the garbage from the road or the river, it is only visible if you attempt to climb the bank; there is a single space to...

Maven; I'll call you tomorrow. It was very good.

The following article was in Sunday's Star Ledger. The part of the Pequonnock River discussed is a small tailwater that holds wild trout, I've caught only browns there when I use to fish it regularly until about five years ago. I'm posting this so the DRF and FUDR folks can maybe use this as a...

Dennis I'd say buying property like your suggesting would be difficult to manage. If you want to try leasing from a land owner that is much easier. Then just divide the cost (don't forget the costs beyond the lease: insurance, maintenance, etc) by the number of people involved. The land owner...

Cingras and Allan. Not being a lawyer either I never venture an opinion into that arena, those lions are meat eaters. If I had property that I had no problem with people crossing I would look into seeing if I could dodge any host problems by maybe posting only near my house but not my entire...
