hen I use to fish the Beaverkill in November and area streams some thirty
plus years ago the season for catching trout was for keeping the trout only,
and the area streams was close otherwise.for those that keep their
fish...Now they may have change the interpretation since then on fishing
this time of the year and some have year long restriction in some areas.You
can call the New York fishery department in Cortland if they are still
there.and fine out for sure.or call the local game warden.and sometime they
don't know
Since I was releasing my trout ,I was alone and had the Beaverkill and
above Darbee's old place all to myself. I spent a beautiful Thanksgiving Day
one year..The native browns turn to such a pretty orange color this time of
the year and they are sure beautiful to admire ,take a camera.
HOW TO TEST ROD & LEADER WHILE FISHING.
And don't over play those beautiful trout and get them in as fast as you
dare. If a trout is brought in and is laying on it's side you shouldn't be
fishing at all.. That's a bad habit to have and you may be killing to many
fish ,then you realize. Now to prevent that ? I SUGGEST YOU TO TEST YOUR ROD
AND LEADER WITH A FISH SCALE .I taught this for over twenty five years in
all my classes . Have your partner hold the fish scale with the fly line
attach ,not the leader.Have twenty or thirty feet of line out and put
tension on the rod as if there is a fish on the other end.. Ask your partner
to read the fish scale and the amount of pressure your using at different
bends of the rod and pressures..Subtract 25 % of your leader strength your
using and that's the amount of max pressure you can use safely to retrieve
that fish after his first run after hooking....If the trout wants to run
,drop your rod tip as he take off and point at the fish.but avoid as much as
possible,by not giving them to much Please don't play a trout with two
pounds or less.pressure ,where a trout is over fourteen inches ..

I believe all the streams in the Catskills are closed
to fishing that time of the year. I could be wrong.
Contact the Catskill Fly Fishing Center in Livingston
Manor N.Y., they should have info.

All,
I'll again visit the International Fly Tying
Symposium, 17 and 18
November, in Somerset, New Jersey. This time around,
I plan to fish
the Catskills after the show. If anyone can give me
any pointers on
where to go, and where to stay (preferably cheap
motels ;-) ) I'd be
very grateful. And, if you are in the neighbourhood,
please stop by
the show and say hi.
Cheers
Henk Verhaar
