Hi there,
I'm a new, but well-hooked, fly fisherman. I spent the past year living on the Spokane River in WA, and was able to fish every single night. Now that I'm back in NYC, I'm going to miss it. Really miss it. In fact I've already started thinking about fly fishing in Central Park come spring. Which I'm pretty sure is going to get me arrested. So... I've started to look into buying a little fishing cabin - a bit of land, small cabin, on a good fly fishing river, not too far from NYC. My girlfriend happens to be buying a larger home up in the Sullivan County region, and I went up with her last weekend to have a look around. Such an amazing place, so many rivers and streams - including the famous Beaverkill. It got me very excited about my plan, but at the same time I'm a bit wary. I'm wondering if I'm being foolish trying to buy in an area that's become so popular. Not from a financial standpoint, of course, but from a fishing one. So my question to any NY anglers: Will I get up to my newly purchased little bit of heaven, only to find myself sandwiched in next to a thousand other fly fishermen? Or will I learn of all the other little streams where the fishing might be good, away from the crowds? What other regions, away from Sullivan County, should I be considering (within ~ a 2 hour drive of NYC)? I'm not asking anyone to divulge their secret fishing holes. But any general suggestions as to alternate regions, particular rivers fairly close to NYC, or any opinions on whether or not Sullivan County is still a good spot for the burgeoning fly fisherman, would be be greatly appreciated. Thanks ahead of time for your thoughts. - Tim |
