Hi Ya Joe......this is crazy googanheimer.........lmao. 8:16 a.m. and i haven't been to bed yet.........did three flies last night and didn't even get started til 3:00 a.m. Just put out the garbage for pick up today.........just a bit tired. We first fished the Battenkill in '93.......we were up in Vermont attending the Orivs school in Manchester. We went back and fished it again several times after that. The whole stretch where it leaves Vermont, turning west in that little town where the Norman Rockwell Museum is and running into New York, past Shushen on the way, is a great stretch of water. I had a great day behind the Shushen post office in that riffle one time.....bout 20 Bows. I have a framed fly tyed by Dick Talleur.....the Shushen Postmaster, named after the postmaster of that very same post office in Shushen. Dick did 200 of them for TGF one year, and a bunch of us (TGF members) got together and framed all 200 in one eve. at Jane Timken's house in Manhattan. They were given to any member who would re-up his dues for a three year period at one time............of course we fell right into that trap, lmao. Obviously those frames weren't to elaborate, lol. i later transfered mine to a more appropriate frame. The Battenkill isn't what it once was.....but still worth a pilgra"midge." And everybody should go to the American Museum of Fly Fishing at least once. We've been there 3 times and i still wanna go back one more time some day.........well. It's 8:30 and i still gotta go downstairs one more time. Another coat of Sally's............lol. mark.....

Like you, I started my trout fishing in the northeast, but I was further north than you. My first experiences were on the Battenkill where it swings briefly across the Vermont / New York line. My favorite hole was down stream from the bridge at Shushen, New York. That was where I caught my first trout on a fly - a 10" brown on an Adams dry ... How classic can you get? My first trout on a fly was with a dry, but I soon went along with the trend and became a wet fly fisherman and to this day I seldom fish a dry fly - althoough I still carry a box of them with me every time I hit the stream. -- Joe Fusco, Sr. Member of The Missouri Trout Fishermen’s Association, The International Brotherhood of the Flymph and The Virtual Fly Box REMEMBER CANCER IS A WORD NOT A SENTENCE Reply to: jfusc...@gmail.com With Windows Live, you can organize, edit, and share your photos.
