Late addition to this thread.
Spicoli (aka Jason) made it to the Catskills.....so I ran up last minute to spend a day with him.
The fall colors were amazing. We had point blank interaction with several bald eagles and a few deer (including this buck).
An absolutely perfect day to be out in the mountains. One thing that I found amazing......
Jason hooked 6 different species. We landed 5 of them. Got into several bows, a few straggler browns, chubs galore, smallmouth and a walleye on the fly. We lost a sucker 8' from the boat. He also had a chase from either a musky or a striper....it was way to big to be anything else.
What a cool day.
