I do believe I know who you are talking about. The behavior fits him to a T. He's well known as a problem up there. You did nothing wrong. Just better to put some distance between yourself and this guy.

Jim.. avoid the math. Go with the new release plan. Bore a hole at the foot of Pepacton dam.

Nicely done! Sounds like you had a great time. As far as losing those nymphs... you want your flies right on the bottom just "ticking" it. You will lose flies but as someone said here, this comes with catching fish. I do love those Tung Head Beads. Learn to tie and you can fill boxes with...

Careful of the Big Browns in the Mud Flats... They may mistake your drone for a meal.

Good news... See the announcement here Upper Delaware River: Normal Operations Resume at Cannonsville Reservoir on the West Branch of the Delaware River

Who knows? I am an American and like most, I don't believe in Science.

Having done a bit more research, here's something that certainly points out reasons the dam operators are being very cautious. I'm not saying Dam Piping is what's going on but clearly they don't know at this point and are being cautious. Note the pages that cover water seepage around the...

Thanks... Sounds like you know something about dams.

Of course the pending damage to the ecosystem if it is a dam leak and difficult to repair could be a big problem. I haven't heard much yet but officials are concerned as the water is silting showing signs of erosion. Is the water coming from an aquifer or from the bottom of Cannonsville? I...

and a ladder please!

Of course all that warm water over the top could and should have been cool clean releases in May when the reservoirs were almost full and at normal levels. But NO....

Good thing NYC hoarded all that water in May even through the reservoirs where 95% full. Now that water will go over the top of the dams starting Monday with large mass of rain coming today and tomorrow and reservoirs at 99% full. At least it will move some of that silt on the bottom of the...

The whole goal is for the boys to out fish their dad's! Thanks again for showing them around the other night. Connor and his buddy really appreciated it!

From what I've observed, Family is very important to all fly fishers... May your son's and daughters pick up the rod and may you have many happy days a stream with them. (I'm fortunate that fly fishing has become a family affair!)

As you know those of us that fish the system on a regular basis for over 20 years feel the same way. Horrible conditions for the fishery and aquatic insects + just plain old crappy fishing. I can accept the later but not the former.
