That link is perfect. I'll print out the map and bring it with me. Thanks!

Thanks for the words of encouragement...sometimes the idea of getting into fly fishing does seem a bit daunting (with the entomology and whatnot) but at the same time it sounds like a ton of fun. That was my problem last time...I was driving upstream and I found nothing but Posted signs. I'll...

I'm just wary because I went down that way and it was all Posted from what I could see. It looked like the land was owned by a fly fishing club. I'll try traveling a little further to see where the other access points are.

I'm extremely new to fly fishing (been mostly just practicing casting up to this point). Anyway, I'll be up in Liberty, NY (Hunter Lake to be specific) this weekend doing some bass fishing and at some point I'd like to take a break from that and try out some of the rivers/streams. I've been up...

I actually have relatives with a lake house up by the Willowemoc...I've done a bunch of driving around that way though and haven't found any real access. The one spot by there house is all posted...appears to be owned by a local fly fishing club.

I guess I have a lot to learn about fly fishing...I had no idea you could catch trout with water temps this cold. Anyway, I'm only about 20 minutes Southeast of the Ramapo river. Do you know where there is public access to it? I'm a little hesitant about that stuff because last fall I went to...

I picked up my first fly rod (5w) and a hand full of flies a few months ago. Since it was already out of season I mostly just practiced casting and went over to the lake to catch a few bluegills. This spring I would really like to try a little trout fishing. I currently live in Rockland...

Haha...that could be another problem right there...didn't know you couldn't false cast the weighted ones. Won't do that again. :D

Thanks, that makes it much easier. All the options seemed overwhelming at first. I haven't actually bought a tippet yet (my setup came pre-loaded with one). I need to buy more though and this info will really help.

Thanks everyone for the quick responses. What you are all saying about slowing down my casting speed must be the issue. Thinking about it, my casting rhythm for the bigger woolly bugger was just as fast as for the lighter dry flies. One big problem I was having was that I was changing the...

Please excuse the newbie question...yesterday was my first time actually fly fishing. After practicing a few times in the back yard (with a 1" piece of yarn tied on as a fly plug) I felt as though I had my cast good enough to actually try fishing. While out there I had very little trouble...

Thanks and will do :)

Very true, I'll check out my guide tomorrow. Don't know why I didn't think of that :D

I plan on giving that a shot next week. I havent purchased any flies yet but I plan on stopping at Gander Mountain this week. Also, I don't really want to limit myself to just fishing for bass. Ideally Id like to try for some trout and other fish in the local rivers. I just don't know...

Hello everyone, I just want to take a quick second to introduce myself. My name is Frank and I live in Orange County, NY. I've been bass fishing (spinning and baitcasting setups) for a few years now but I've always wanted to try fly fishing. To make a long story short I bought myself a...
