Diane, I may just do that, and Battenkill_Jim, your not TOO far away for some weeked fishing. I do many kinds of fishing, Mostly trout with a few lightweight rods, just wanting to try my hand at Flyfishing as I got a shakesphere rod/reel used for $20. LOL, I know, Its not the best rod but for $20 I thought that a good price to introduce myself to the sport. All are welcome up my way too for fishing as I have had luck at numerous spots. Im new to NY and always did Catfishing in Ohio off the Ohio River and ponds, But Im growing addicted to trout fishing. I tried Ice fishing, and well........it's just too damn cold. > >
