GOOD LUCK GOOD FISHIN:uhuh:
P.S. take some pic's

I’m going to be up there Nov 26th thru the 29th pm if you want to hook up I fish with some life long buddies that are full time guides up there. We will be in the drift boat and most likely will be having some beverages back at camp. It would be cool to meet up with some other sb guys as I am in the minority as a striper fisherman amongst salmon guys and usually am privy to much ball busting; they think our sport is easy

Lou is a good guy, I will be up this weekend,cant wait.

Poncho, I believe thats THANKSGIVING WEEKEND should be over my son's that week, will be at the International Fly Tying Symposium the weekend befor, if you go up during the week any time PM me, Im usualy FREE then, weekend are bussy for me. spent meny holidays up there, it should be nice only diehard steelhead fishermen around.:uhuh: take some pic's, WATER should be perfect:smash: back to tyin flys for the show.
GOOD LUCK GOOD PLUGGIN

Dave, Rick is not a guide on the river just has a personal drift boat they use. How long are you staying up? Going to tinker tavern again?

Gonna head up that direction at some point in the next couple months... first time... sounds like a blast

stiff tip they are from Pulaski, if you need sombody to take you out I can hook you up with my friend Danny he is full time up there

Dave,

I'll be up there at some point this November, hopefully for a 3 or 4 day stint either the weekend of the 13-14 or 20-21.

The second I hooked my first chromer last December, I was addicted. It's about as different from striper fishing as you can get (at least the float fishing and bottom scratching), but awesome in its own way.

I am probably heading up the weekend of 20 21 till Tues in November. Hope some fish stop running in and wait a couple weeks.

My first trip of the season is schedule for Dec. 1-5. I have a drift boat planned for Dec 2 and will be fishing on foot the rest of the time.

WOW, nice to see there are steelheaders on board.

Poncho,
you should take her up an let her have a RELAZING WEEKEND, drifting down the river while you fish.
as for me,it was expected of me to be gone on holidays. one of the best time to be on the water. now I get to go ANYTIME :rotf2:
GOOD LUCK GOOD FISHIN:uhuh:

thanks dog thats a good idea. I hope we can hook up at some point and fish. I will post some pics of the trip when I get back good luck up there I will be in touch.

Fished it for the first time last week. I was kind of in between runs as far as timing goes and really had no idea what I was doing. I tried hooking up with a guide but it didn't work out so bought myself a "noodle rod" and had at it. I fished three mornings and had two fish on - lost them both. First was a most likely a salmon by the way it felt and by seeing what others around me were getting, second was a steelhead. 4th jump I lost it. WOW. I can se why this fishing is additive but also would say that I am glad I fished weekdays as it gets a little crazy. I really had no clue, just classic trout stream fishing with fake eggs.
Have fun guys, I certainly left some fish for you.

BTW bring your own lead. They cant sell it in NY and the non lead stuff is not nearly as effective to bottom bounce with.

JamesJet, you want to talk ADDITIVE from OCTOBER to JUNE EVERY friday night leave MIDNIGHT an arive at 6am fish till SUNDAY 3 oclock an drive home, back to work monday:smash:
GOOD LUCK GOOD FISHIN:cheers:
