Good Afternoon Ladies and Gents,
Over the last few years, many enemies have been made, yet we all seem to come together, level headed, when were out on the stream fishing. Beetle and I were probably NEFF's biggest rivals. However, now, we are BUDDIES!!!
We are even planning a private fish hugging Salmon River trip together.
Slim Shady and Chris have fished together all over the eastern seaboard, beetle has fished with Neffers in PA, I have fished people I have met on Neff, Allen has instilled the SPEY BUG into some NEFFERs in the LFZ, CARBLE has hooked many-a-big browns on the Upper D with Neffers as passengers, and BRK TRT, well, he is a phantom so hopefully we can get him up to the Salmon River!
SO, why not further strengthen and build new life long friendships while hooking into medalheads and browns on the Salmon River in Pulaski, NY? We all know each other very well via this forum, however it would nice to put a face to the name!
I would like to hold this event sometime in November. Why? Well, those of you who have fished the Salmon River and tribs in September and October are far too familiar with the lead slinging sod busters and standing room only river access. While the air temps are very pleasant, as the fish are plentiful, it is not an experience I would reccomend to any new comers to the area. I do suggest you atleast witness it one time in your life, however for our trip, I would prefer to start off on the right foot.
It is like clock work, every November 1st, the ABSURDLY priced hotel rooms drop to an affordable level, bars begin cutting back on their Nantucket Nectar pruchases, and Pulaski begins settling in for its long an people-less winter. BUT, with November 1st, comes STEELHEAD SEASON BABY! Everyone you meet on the river is extremely nice and accomodating, patterns are passed around, and stories are told, without the need to constantly look over your shoulder at hurdling lead and bush light cans. It is a wonderful time of the year, temps are about 45-55 degrees on avg, and fish are PLENTIFUL AND HUNGRY!
I want to get an idea and see who would be interested! Due to the fact I will be taking off a few days from work over Thanksgiving, I would prefer to be atleast (2) weekends back from thanks giving, if not (3). I am sure your wifes/gf's would appreciate that as well.
As for food, I will bring grill and we can just designate a dish/drink to someone...Someone bring burgers, someone bring dogs, etc. OR, we can scrap the idea of cooking and head to AK SKIM's BAR! Because frankly, if it is going to be one of those bitter Novembers, I for one do not want to be cooking outside. Would be nice to have a mid day rest inside a warm establishment, as well as dinner.
I will also have my new cateraft, so those of you who want to float, step right up. I would do a float from pineville to 2a or Almar to Pineville so I would be able to take a few people throughout the day, instead of the usual Altmar to the ballpark float, which takes all day...
So, please repond with any questions/comments/ or concerns! Lets get this going! Thank you guys!!!!
