Yup, that's tricky business.i usually screw it up myself..just
being able to completely do NOTHING and let a REALLY BIG fish just GO! Your
brain is so trained to do something. And that's a huge mistake when dealin'
with a really big fish. You should do nothing..NOTHING

I know the place real well, used to hunt there myself. As for the smell, I
learned to fly on the Hakansack River in seaplanes. Our flying practice area
was in that pig farm area, the smell came all the way up to 2000 feet.

Alan, Tony.the Hackensack has been cleaned up and is not a bad river to

Interesting comments, Mark. Here's my take.
Obviously Orvis has built this elaborate fly-casting course to encourage rod

a restored, now commercial
I have to agree w/ Mark for the most part. I used to fish in bass
