One year on a trip to fish the Madison in MT I sat behind Henry Fonda on the flight out - I think he lives out there. Same trip, we were getting the boat ready for our float and up comes The Fonze - Henry Winkler.

Dennis, It's been a little while since I've lurked - did your drift boat turn up? Last time I browsed the site it seemed to have gone missing. Shawn

Thanks. I actually emailed the owner of the store and he's indicated that Sauro DOES NOT own the land opposite the store location and that access is available there. I'm gonna check it out next month (both store and accessibility :) Thanks again, Shawn

It is definitely tragic but also brings home the fact that when boating, be sure to bring a knife so a stuck anchor rope can be cut. If your anchor is stuck, be careful when attempting to free it and don't hesitate to cut the line. Anchors and line are cheap, life is precious Shawn

Hi, It's been a while since I've been down Bouchouxville Road but I noticed the subject store listed on Hancock's Chamber of Commerce web site and was wondering if anyone has ever visited the store. If so, what kind of store is it? Do they sell fishing supplies (fly or otherwise), food...

Dennis (you - anyone who shares your thoughts) Of course I don't go around sending checks to town halls. But, any time you or I open our wallets and spend money, we're contributing to Town Hall - whether we like it not. The motivation for our spending habits is irrelevant. There's nothing...

Dennis, as owner of this site you're certainly free to express yourself and your opinions. Just wanted to say that I disagree with your rant in its entirety. Attitudes like yours give reason for the Town of Hancock to not give a shit about you either. Your feeling are all too common in this...

I've caught 2 on the WBD over the years - both in the same location and near a feeder. One day I stumbled across a whole bunch of little brookies on the east branch up close against a bank. They were small and native / wild, I caught 2 or 3 and moved on. That really was a surprise. Shawn

Hi brachycentrus, I'm wasn't asking / arguing your point on the spawning and tribs. The letter in your first post raises issues with the closing of border waters after the season ends. Quite a bit of text is written to support the argument of not closing the border waters. I live in PA and...

Hi, I'm a little confused...in reading the link http://www.dec.state.ny.us/website/dfwmr/propregs/part10text.html - it doesn't state that NY is closing "border water sections of the Delaware River and the Web Branch of the Delaware River to all fishing...". The regs clearly delineate between...

Comparadunce, You're a real gem, lemme tell ya. You accuse a regular contributor to this site BY NAME of "cutting you off". Of course he's going to defend his position. What's respectable is that he apparently researches his trip dates prior to posting and responds in a respectful, courteous...

FWIW, I agree with the actions Dennis has / is taking. I'm a lurker here, making few posts. I truly respect and admire the passion many users have in their beliefs on how to make our sport better. Be it flows / temps, onstream etiquette, handling / releasing fish, you name it. As people post...

Jim, I curious as to why you didn't tie on one of the ol' Serio Spinners?! :) I actually have a couple but can't seem to bring myself to tie on one of them big boys. I will someday, though. Shawn

Please don't assume people are ignoring the rules before launching accusations or implying they don't give a damn. I too respect ALL property postings. I honestly did not see ANY posted signs where I accessed the river from - which was on the PA side of things at an obvious parking area with...

Dennis, I was by myself and walked up to the head of the riff as evening approached. I didn't know it was you until I read your post and recalled someone calling you by name. Next time I'll know and will be sure to intro myself. RFord, I was prolly the first guy at the top of the flat pool...

Dennis, Does "Your fishing the most controversial spot on the river" with a retort from a gent "Yeah, and I'm the controversial owner!" sound familiar? :) Why is that spot controversial? You never did mention the 2nd half of your secret weapon. :D Shawn

Hi, I've fished it a few times. There are some very nice fish in the stream. It's not a scenic river by any stretch but it can be fun. I've seen hatches up there but rarely a rising fish. Fish underneath and you may be pleasantly surprised. I can't give specific directions but try and find...

Hi, Are there any shuttle services for the more popular Lehigh runs? Thanks! Shawn

Great stuff! I came across this link on another board recently that some may find very interesting: http://www.troutnut.com/movies.php The very first movie clip is an isonychia. It really shows just how fast these bugs can swim. Lots o' other cool movie clips and still images. Sorry if...
