I started this blog, to have a single place to keep a log, other than in note books or on PC, in MS Word or Excel. With the addition of photos and videos, it became obsolete to keep records in text only, typed or written. Email was becoming unmanageable and just as worthless. The concern of this log becomming public caused reservations in making entries. Well, its the end of the season for some. Being I will always find the opportunity to spend some time on the streams all year, decided it would be time to explore making post. It's purpose is to compile together a one place source for local trout related information.

Croton Falls Next Generation

This is a forthcoming pro fisherman. His attitude and knowledge was impressive. The high water at Croton Falls had discourage a number of regular anglers from wetting their lines this day. Not this kid, who if I remember right was about 11 years old.



When I offered one of my own tied flies, he claimed to venture with his own creations and nothing else. He later advised that he had attended TU camp. He held his own on and off the water and never faltered while wadding around the deeper holes of Garcia run. He did not talk as much as I might but was able to answer as confidently as his wadding ability, any question I posed to him. His guardian must have shared in that confidence, as he stood near the river banks in civilian attire. Apparently not concerned with having to make a splash retrieval. This kid was busy and I only wish he had the time for further questions. I was sure he had some tips and experience I would have been anxious to hear.
