By suggestion of Jdaddy, I'm starting a new thread.
I should be in Hancock Thursday morning and ready to fish after getting unloaded. There is no specific plan in place. Capra Inn is the headquarters of operation. Fisherman can organize groups each evening for the following day. Some will float, some will wade and some might sit on the porch and drink. We should have Brandon and driftboat joining in. will wading be possible or the preferred method of fishing? I can't tell you what the flows will be like until the day of fishing. You never know up there. Due to the warm winter and crazy spring, the big hatches will have passed by JAM time. Don't let that stop you because the sulphurs will be rolling along. They typically hatch twice a day! There will also be small olives (#20), ISO's , mixed caddis, ants, etc. Fishing won't be limited to one specific river. There is well over 100 miles of fihable water if the temps stay down. Brandon is looking to take a group to the Neversink Gorge one day....miles of pocket water for the nymph enthusiast. The gorge is no joke. You sign in at the parking area. It's rugged terrain and you should be fit for this excursion. Just make sure you have the correct license for the area you are fishing.
Fade and the Prof are renting a place ten minutes up the road in Deposit. I believe he's rounded up a local bluegrass band for Saturday night. First time visitors to "the D" are welcome. Some pretty experienced angles should be attending and will be happy to share what they know. Please be aware that dry fly fishing on this river system will test every part of your angling skills. Micro drag gets refused. Lining a fish typically put them down and you will be called on to make 'hero casts' from time to time. The lower the water, the more technical it becomes so pray for rain / releases.
Saturday morning, we plan to do a raffle as in years past. Due to a recent mold discovery in my air conditioning ducts, the prize selection may be pretty thin this year. There are several pubs, a McD's and a diner close by.
Feel free to post questions or concerns. One of the guys who have been or are going will reply.
