2011 appears to be my year for the much dreaded fishing jinx. So far I have been skunked in all outings with my fly rod. If you see me on the river, DO NOT APPROACH! This may be contagious, unknown. Beaverkill, skunked. Ausable, skunked. Ballston Lake, skunked! Kayderosseross, skunked. Fished...

If you see me, stop and say hi, I'd love to meet some of ya. Purple mini van with Yakima racks. I am staying at Rosco Campground. I will be there Thurs-Sun morn when I'm not fishin.

So I am going down for 4 days soon. I was wondering if I should take my canoe? The upper river seems so locked up in private property BOO! that I was wondering if I can canoe from the campground down to Roscoe and get on some different water (without killing myself). I have a 14' Raddison with...

Heya, What recommendations do you guys have for fly fishing within an hours drive of Saratoga Springs? The Kaydeross is kinda lame. It gets stocked and then fished out. are there any opportunities for catching brawling browns or brookies nearby without driving up to the au sable/saranac area? I...

Fished the bk friday and saturday for the first time ever. What a great river, it really lives up to its status. 5 of us fished and while none of us are legendary ourselves we did manage to get 16 fish between us. Most were in the 12 " range and one whopper 20+" brown from the bottom section of...

Does anyone have experience with this gear? I have never heard of it before seeing the banner ads on this site. The designs look good, but beyond what they say about themselves I know nothing. The prices are great, or rather the prices are not ridiculously inflated. Thanks for the input.

Hey there, I moved to the Saratoga Springs area about a year ago. I just found your forums while looking for info on the Beaver kill. I am going to be there the weekend of 4/24 so I am trying to get a feel for it. I fish all kinds of gear, whatever is going to be the most fun usually. It is kind...
