Well, I'm surely not going to be making the 300+ mile trip to the Ausable in the Adirondacks 7 or 8 times like I usually do. I get 16 mpg on the truck with a tail wind on the highway...in those mountains it probably dips to 9 or 10. I'll be fishing the lower Catskills more (but the so will everybody else). The local scene here on Long Island will be much the same with gas prices already $4.20 a gallon and going nowhere but up....the rivers will be crowded. I'll still make my fall trip to the Ausable, but I don't know how many more trips will be made. I'm still re-habing my broken wrist, and i only have 10 more radiation treatments for my prostate cancer...maybe after things calm down I'll break open the piggy bank and make a trip.....just in time for the green drake hatch maybe.....
