I saw this idea for a thread while searching for info on another board and thought that it might be fun and interesting to get everyone's take on it here. Please list your top 12 flies for trout in the NY/NJ/PA region. These should be your "go to" flies, as in if you could only carry 12...

Spent the day (Thursday, 4/3) visiting some new (to us) and old streams with SeñorEdd. Lots of time in the car, very little actually in the water. The short version of the report goes like this: THE WATER EVERYWHERE IS HIGH, COLD & FAST!!! We visited the Neversink @ Bridgeville, the West...

Okay, it's time to buy a new fly line for my 5wt Loomis for trout fishing on Catskill streams. Aside from all of the various brands, coatings, tapers, etc., does anyone have advice about choosing a color? I see that many come in choices of bright colors and/or more neutral shades. What do you...

I drive down Rt. 23 past this stream several times a week and have heard that it can be good, especially between the two reservoirs. Any body have any experience on this river? I know that the fish are all wild. Are there trout above the upper reservoir, too? Thanks, JohnO:confused:
