Out of state recs?
I have a completely free weekend during mid October and as much as I love fishing in NJ I have not explored surrounding states much at all and I’d like to change that. I think I’d like to drive out somewhere and do some trout (or maybe even salmon?) fishing, maybe grab a hotel room or Airbnb overnight and just fish hard all weekend. Looking for genera areas to check out! PA or NY, either are on the table, just looking for a completely new experience! Thanks in advance, tight lines

New York ! Stay at Smiths Colonial Motel (remember those BEFORE Airbnb)
Easy Access to the East and West branches of the Delaware river as well as the main stem and Beaverkill. The branches CLOSE October 15th for spawning and reopen in April, as well as the Beaverkill I think also. The main stem up there is soooo much fun, hire a drift boat for the day if you can.

Re: Out of state recs?
If you can squeeze in a Friday or Monday go west young man! If you want to catch big fish mid October is the tail end of salmon season and the early stage of steelhead season. You can do it for just a weekend but its pretty far so three days is a little more relaxing. Don't get me wrong you could do it for two days. I have done plenty of suicide missions where we drove all night, got there at daybreak, fished and came home the same day. But those days are over for me. Once you do it you will be hooked for life. I would hire a guide for at least one day. If you need details PM me and I can send you info on reputable guides and places to stay .

I can tell you all the access spots on the main stem of the Delaware river up there.

A float with sweet water guide service. Lard Almighty has good videos on that river.

Any opinions on Esopus Creek in NY? Found a sweet campsite there and read a few enticing articles. Looks like a cool area and an awesome place to get away, not too far but not too close either.

I heard the Esopus Creek is good for Rainbows, never fished it.
