if you are in the catskills, i want to play. the original idea was june which is cool. may works too, but it can be hit or miss till mid month. there are only
five systems to fish, so with any luck at all, someone besides upstate will catch a fish.
the day after i said we could camp at the beaverkill campground, the DEC said they were closing it for the year. somebody up there doesn't like me. mikec |

You guys need to consult an expert on outdoor living. A man who can resolve all your differences. A conciliator extraordinaire, a statesman, a man of the
people with the pith to cut to the crux and achieve compromise amenable to all and advantageous to none; I refer, of course, to no less a personage than Mr.
Melvin Pittsnogle. Having recently proofread his newest contribution to the fields and woods of outdoor literature, "Campin' on the Lam", I can
assure you he is your man. You obviously require a location central to all of you, a rustic setting of minimal amenities yet close to a ready supply of
caffeine and comestibles. Uncrowded fishing in a setting that promotes the use of the dry fly and visible "takes". Gentlemen, Mr. Pittsnogle knows
these places like he knows the corns on his feet. He can guide you to multiple sites in the urban areas of both New York and New Jersey, pools where one is
never rained out due to the expressways overhead, riffles and runs filled with "bloated hogs" that can be taken on the dry fly with a precisely
placed cast and careful line handling. And danger? you ask. By Gawd, YES! The kinds of risk that make a man feel manly, that make Viagra obsolete, that raise
the hairs on even the most bald of hombres. You will return home with memories, tales and diseases to last a lifetime. You will smell smells never before
experienced. See things they can't show on television. Experience events to titillate even the most jaded of fishermen. And you can do it all on less than
2 dollars a day(if the soup kitchens are open). At the end of your sojourn a short hike will deliver you to the vicinity of retail clothing, gift and jewelry
outlets where you may purchase emoluments to placate your sweet beloveds upon returning to hearth and home, guilt preassuaged.
I can remember when getting "a new toy for the dog" meant stopping on the drive home from work to grab a road-killed armadillo. |

I feel Mr. Pittsnogles services, while greatly appreciated, will not be required.
I did see an episode of the Urban Fisherman on the outdoor channel shot in New York City and environs. The Fisherman was "guided" by a wily local to one of his favorite Northern Pike spots. Now I was not even aware that Pike lived within a 2 hour drive of North Jersey, let alone inside the Newark City Limits, but the "guide" was insistant, our fisherman stoic and the audience pretty sure this was the prelude to a mugging. They parked on the interstate and climbed down a bridge abutement. The "guide" said hello to a couple of the resident, reality challenged gentlemen of leisure enjoying a freindly cocktail party under the bridge. The Host commented on the unique smell of this piscatorial paradise. The Guide told him to cast his plug toward the sunken shopping cart (I know chunk and wind, but fun to watch anyway) which our stalwart fisherman did, showing outward signs of the impending disappointment. The plug was in the water mere seconds before being visciously slashed by what turned out to be about a 35" pike. As the large predatory beast was brought to net our guide was conscientious enough to warn our openly startled fisherman NOT to get the water on any bare skin or open sores. After catching and releasing several large pike, our adventurous duo returned to the freeway. |

Now THAT is a fishing adventure!! Melvin taught that guide the basics 2 years ago at the 18th Annual Pittsnogle's Introduction to The Life Seminar and look
how well the boy is doing already. National TV exposure, endorsement packages from The Salvation Army and the New Jersey Fish & Game Department, honored
recipient of the Key to Paterson, NJ........
Can't believe you all would pass up the opportunity to let Melvin do for you what Lefty Kreh and Nick Lyons have done for so many others. Guess there does have to be somebody to fill out the second string lineup. |

I'm in! If it's the Catskills, I think there's a farm near Woodstock where people do things like this. Must be a river running through it
somewhere.

The East Branch is within easy reach at only 20 minutes to Corbett Bridge. Ronbo lodge offers first class acomedations (depends on how drunk the person is you ask) with hundreds of acres of remote wilderness( actualy 4 acres) A world class trout stream runs thru the property( if you like 6" native brookies) A casting pond with wild rainbows await your casting pleasure ( stocked right from the hatchery truck) The acomedations include a camper that sleeps 4, a cabin for bunk style sleeping arangements and remote camping sites. Ronbos world famous breakfest smorgesborg and hot showers are included in the low price ( Free)
Ronbo lodge offers a fully stocked bar. ( what ever Scotch Tom brings and Keg of the week supplied by Ronbo Lodge) I was planning on having a Boo Bash this summer so this may be the ticket. Let me know if anyone is interested. I'm still having the Boo bash regardles.
