DSR is nothing but an ex-politician still getting rich off of the people.

That aside there's plenty of river to fish w/o having folks in your back pocket. Ya just gotta go walk and explore. My friends and I very seldom have issues with crowding. Likewise most of the other anglers we do encounter and deal with are friendly and courteous and we extend the same attitude to everyone. It's no big deal to clear your line to allow someone to play and land a fish, or even offer to net it for them. And extending such goodwill generally elicits the same attitude in return. Whether they realize it or not most folks create their own luck, good or bad.
As the saying goes, karma can be a bitch, or not. Just fish and enjoy!

I must make this

gwl2oneida · #17 08-25-2014, 02:58 AM

Yes, you must! Haven't seen you since skunksville ice.

Anyone who's never tried it, you really should do your best to make it up there! The fishing is usually stellar, although occasionally it ventures into the realm of unbelievable!
The kings are like giant bulldogs just powering their way around the river. The big browns are another story too, but without question the steelies and to a slightly lesser degree the coho are the speed demon acrobats and by far the 'main attraction' of the whole circus IMHO! Drag screaming, reel smoking runs punctuated with incomparable aerial leaps, definitely the stars of the show!
Of course we can't forget the clowns too. Spend an hour sitting on ther bank having a sandwich and a brew at any of the most popular spots and you'll get to see some streamside antics the likes of which you simply couldn't imagine! Although I have to say it's not nearly as bad as it was many years ago when snagging was still legal. Back then fist fights over a lousy king were nearly as common as the sight of someone with a weighted treble hook impaled somewhere on their person.

All in all, after more than 30 years of fishing in the region up there and countless thousands of fish caught I still get excited and impatient as my annual weeklong trip approaches! By the time i'm halfway home at week's end I'm already planning for the following fall, not to mention trying to work in a spring steelhead trip before NJ trout season opens!

I hope as many guys as possible make it up for this outing! The timing should be great for hitting the peak of the salmon run and the early to mid stages of the steelhead influx!

Im sorry I won't be going up with you guys. I will be up there the last full week of september cause my buddies invited me to come up. Only problem is its my first time up there and I have waders with spikes but can any of you guys give me any tips on pole reel and line to be using. I even tried looking up on youtube for advice how to fish for them. I can't wait to go!!

thanks mike
