Quick New York trout trip 8/7:

[AndyS]

Not trout weather by any stretch of the imagination here in Joisey, so Lard, Wilson and I took off for what should have been greener pastures. The two of them said they would keep me company while I wanted to scout a new spot, I'm glad they did.
We drove 2 hours to a spot on the Neversink River near Rock Hill. First stop to was to check the conditions, not good. It had rained heavely the night before and the pristine trout stream was running very high and muddy.
No big deal, we started fishing. Lard was quick to get into a nice brown.
Water temp was not a factor, plenty cold enough.
We moved to spot number two which was a 15 minute hike to the river in the Unique Area, place looked very fishy. We worked hard at it but the high and muddy water got the best of us. Hiked back out in what would best be described as the Congo in Africa, heat and humidity !!
Stopped on the way home and hit the upper Slamapo in Suffern for a bit, Lard got a dink smallmouth.

I'm just trying to get some ideas for the fall, but most NY trout streams close October 15th to protect spawning trout, I have to check the regs on this river. I know it was artificials only, I think no kill (we weren't keeping any anyway, just C&R) I would like to explore this river beyond the resevoir, up into the Catskills, I heard it's very
nice.
