7/16-Went to Bog Brook. Sunny and hot. Fish in general were not biting. After 3 hours the thunderstorms appeared on the horizon heading straight for us. We retreated to shore, had a few drinks and called it a day. 7/23-Went to the East Branch reservoir for the first time since late April. Today...

Dumb rule a product of thinking from the 50's and 60's. But rules are rules even dumb ones.

Would destroy some good low angle trees.

6/27-Headed out on LI sound from Clinton, CT with buddies Steve, Doug, and Mike. Steve and Doug bought this boat about 2 years ago and have just recently gotten competent enough to navigate about 10 miles out into the sound. Good range for stripers and blues. But this day was devoted to...

Isle of Man TT. Holy crap those guys are nuts!

6/25-Another good day on Rye Lake. Beautiful weather. Lots of bass to catch. We both caught over a dozen bass each. Most were decent in size but it took me until later in the afternoon to catch good sized smallmouth. Pretty much the same story for Steve. Big smallies make for good pics but lots...

Unfortunately a disappointing result for NY fans.

Got my K midweek pass today.

I have fished the Yellowstone in Wyoming in Yellowstone Park. That is a mighty river and a majestic place to be outdoors in nature. Caught the biggest of the few cutthroat trout I have caught in my life there, a fine 6 pounder. Wading on slippery basalt shelves in deep fast moving ice cold water...

Great pic Scotty.

We've had Teddy for about 4 months now. One of the reasons he was the last of his group of dogs to be adopted was that he was not neutered when we got him. I guess that's an expense most folks can't afford out of hand. Now I know why! But Teddy is our boy and even though I had some reservations...

6/17-Good bass fishing on Rye Lake with Steve. Caught a variety of bass including largemouths, smallmouths and rock bass. Some of the rock bass were decent sized. But all of the biggest fish were smallmouths today. Fish were confined to specific areas in the sun with shallow water near shore...

Yeah that really sucks. No shame!

I would be remiss to not add Franz Klammer's gold medal winning downhill run in the 1976 Olympics. My buddy Rick who is a non-skier broke his mother's glass coffee table banging on it with his fists he got so excited watching it.

JFK. I remember being in the supermarket with my mom when the announcement that he had been shot came over the radio. The gasp in the store was clearly audible. I was 5. Now I feel old.

Good looking weather conditions.

6/10-Headed to Pepacton reservoir in the Catskills for some hike wading. Pepacton is a big place so we got in about 5 miles of hiking to get to our fishing spots today. Arena was the ticket today water levels are high. Smallmouths were biting all day at our primary wading spot we would catch a...

Ugh

Bought my Plattekill pass already. SKI3 start August. Next up is a K midweek pass by 6/24.

They put up an awesome fight. I've landed a few 25-30 lbs. from the NYC reservoirs. Actually quite useful for keeping the reservoirs clean especially the bottom. Not great eating though.
