For sure it was more fun than The NYT Friday crossword.

 With the Beaverkill dipping below 500 cfs  today and the nighttime temps back down in the 50's, I decided to come down and try to get in a couple of days fishing before the next rain is predicted to fall (Wed., Thur. and Fri.).  Bought a BJ's roasted chicken, filled the car up with gas and took a leisurely drive down, arriving at 12:00 on the dot. Had lunch, got stuff put away and headed out about 3:00 hoping to find pseudos and rising fish.

There were eight or ten cars in the "Jaws" parking lot at East Branch and about the same number at the pull off above barrel pool where there were a dozen of fishermen getting into their gear. I assume that there must have been either a fishing class or some other gathering going on.

The fishing- By the time I found a place to fish and got my stuff on it was about 4:00, the river was in shade, there were pseudos galore, rising fish and fishermen throwing at them.  Walked a long ways, had rising fish most of the time and even found a little run with fish willing to eat isos. It was a fun but not exciting three hours (over by 7:00). Surprisingly most of the fish were wild but the fish of the day was a battle scarred 14 inch hatchery fish.

Will try to find out  when NYC DEP intends to cut back the releases. Until then the pseudo fishing is extremely limited.
