REEL FORCE -> Spot Burning .... (5/5/2008 7:57:13 PM)

To all members PLEASE be careful about how much infomation you post on a certain spot you fish - too much info and you might find that place fished out.

I'm not saying don't share - ya can always PM the person that asked ...

                                                                              Thanx. 



backin79 -> RE: Spot Burning .... (5/5/2008 8:18:32 PM)

exactly why I'm not so eager to showoff with pictures. If I showed the fish,you still would need a city water shed permit/license/registered boat tag and alot of gasoline$$$ to take a chance on weather(wind) I don't anchor anymore  and very rarely purchase live sawbellies/minnow bait anymore.  But all this adds up to a pretty good expense for the average joe.. I will not give away my river stream honey holes... the resi I could care less.. most these fish die of old age as far as i'm concerned. lol



backin79 -> RE: Spot Burning .... (5/5/2008 8:21:32 PM)

I can not believe how expensive it is to roam around these days! I use to do this every year but never thought gasoline could rise this fast and still keep rising! especially with such a fine president at the helm! [;)][8|][&:]



hot tuna -> RE: Spot Burning .... (5/5/2008 8:42:35 PM)

Good luck finding this spot and don't expect to find other anglers up there to fish (LOL) I'll give you a hint, it's in the ADK's [;)]

The bounty:

[img]http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r17/rippleshots/5-4-08-1.jpg[/img]

these ponds due to the hike in terrain require the use of only packable inflatable tubes & rafts, your not going to carry a boat up there, even a light weight hornbeck. The reason it's highly doubtful to see another angler on most of these waters, not that the serious anglers don't fish these but they are few and far between .Sure there are plenty of ADK ponds that hold brook trout but not a large amount that hold big fish. The best brookie ponds are kept tight lipped. Generally I don't take clients to one particular pond more than a few times per year. At some areas i employ guidelines on what if any can be killed,these places are just too fragile to over fish. Currently weekends are booked up in May but there are openings available for weekday, day or overnight trips and a few weekends in June.



KayderossZ -> RE: Spot Burning .... (5/6/2008 1:21:36 PM)

Sorry if I offended anyone by giving out too much information.  I only did so b/c I thought it was a good place to bring a kid to get them "hooked" on fishing.  I certainly would not give out information about my fly-fishing honey holes so freely.  Again my apologies.[sm=icon_cry.gif]




REEL FORCE -> RE: Spot Burning .... (5/6/2008 6:27:58 PM)

No need to apologize ... just trying to protect some of your favorite spots [sm=beerchug.gif] .... Look at the hits compared to replies - ya know some are just looking for info on where we fish ....





backin79 -> RE: Spot Burning .... (5/6/2008 9:23:05 PM)

reel, I remember some 20 years ago a place like that, same size brookies too, so big you needed two hands to hold em, anyway it was off canonville in green county.. use to love taking to back road over  and although even then was private, we had permission  until it changed hands..  some jerseys now own it  "rainbow lodge" but that's how it goes for many once sacred spots. Keep yours sacred as you know the deal :) Still have some small trail brook ponds here close worth a line however, at least three i know are easily accessible WMA limited parking and the size of char show it ( usually about half size yours) . But I'm going soon anyway with my kayak and ultra lights.



griffon -> RE: Spot Burning .... (5/7/2008 9:21:41 PM)

You guys are killing me.  I grew up in upstate NY and lived for fishing the backcountry ponds and streams of the Catskills and Adirondacks.  I moved to Pittsburgh 10 years ago and have found two things that I really miss.  One is grouse hunting and the other is chasing the wild trout of the Tugg Hill and Adirondacks.  I really don't want you to spot burn, but if you could share your adventures without names, you would do this heart a lot more good than you know...  Till Someday, The Griffon.

lol, if that was my private  brooky pond, i'd spear any browns and preserve the pond for just those char species. Best eating salmonoid fish imo. tuna that place looks like a place i would miss very much if i had the honors. You must quad to get there right?



New York Yank -> RE: Spot Burning .... (5/11/2008 10:17:53 PM)

Beautiful spot there Tuna.... is that a High Peak?  Brookies ...gotta love em.



backin79 -> RE: Spot Burning .... (5/12/2008 2:29:40 PM)

gorgeous spot, i'd love to cook on an open pit under the stars up there! i think it could be a bow too in that last photo. but get it the heck out of that gem pond! bows and browns will eat the native brook fry. tuna knows!



dakota man -> RE: Spot Burning .... (5/12/2008 3:06:30 PM)

One shot looks like Wakley Pond and the other the Flow from the dam. The most all look alike. Also looks like Carry Pond.

Answers:

79: no vehicle use in the ADK park, all is pure will & foot power. They are bushwack trail-less hike in's.

Yes the last pic was a bow in a brookie pond, not really so bad. Browns & baitfish are [:-]

dakota : close (not really) but no no cigar. keep trying.



prtrout -> RE: Spot Burning .... (5/13/2008 2:17:55 PM)

Tuna
Looks like Whiteface in the background.  How about Bartlett.  Just a shot in the dark.  Thanks for the pictures.



dakota man -> RE: Spot Burning .... (5/13/2008 3:26:59 PM)

Maybe Beaver Lake. Looks like flat country behind the pond. Is it in the Plains?



backin79 -> RE: Spot Burning .... (5/13/2008 5:04:49 PM)

What a beautiful place for sure! very prestine, glad to know it's a well maintained native spot for those awesome brookies! lol I'm going to take along with me a digital and see what I can showoff soon! lol but in another region..of coarse we'll play "what spot is this" lol enjoy!



hot tuna -> RE: Spot Burning .... (5/13/2008 5:56:18 PM)

Hey now, you're getting close. that is whiteface and in the shot of the camo pack, Marcy is just off to the left. i wanted to take a pic of her snow capped peak, but .. for the exact location you'll have to draw the lines and connect the point. But there is a lot of area between the two (lol)

it's been fun and i'll post some more remote ponds to continue the guessing game.



71gto -> RE: Spot Burning .... (5/13/2008 6:37:42 PM)

You guys need to teach the yahoos in PA about spot burning!
 
Nice pics! I enjoyed them.

Not, keep trying.
I'll have a new pond tomorrow



MohawkRiverDan -> RE: Spot Burning .... (5/14/2008 8:14:14 PM)

Thats funny . A thread started about spot burning and you guys are naming a bunch of good spots . 



prtrout -> RE: Spot Burning .... (5/14/2008 8:32:35 PM)

OK Tuna
No more goofing around.  The picture of you with the fog on the mountains is round pond.  The pictures of you on your photo page the pond starts with a B.  Alot like a barge... I am still working on your last set of photos how about cold spring.

hot tuna -> RE: Spot Burning .... (5/14/2008 9:24:46 PM)

prtrout:

No more fooling around, wrong on the 1st. & second does not start with a B but rather a T.

I give up now, please tell me these places so I can fish em'



hot tuna -> RE: Spot Burning .... (5/14/2008 9:28:50 PM)

P.S.

Ok    It's been fun.



backin79 -> RE: Ponds (5/15/2008 9:32:45 PM)

prtrout, looks to me like a once in a lifetime trophy size brookie if that is native wilderness fishing! The only brookie spots in the catskill  that size are likely private impoundments.  Regardless, that is a huge char! nice rig too. I have a sit ontop kayak, lost a coleman canoe in a recent flood few years ago along my upper delaware spot. Thinking of getting a small light one man canoe too like that one.  Gl luck this season, enjoy!



prtrout -> RE: Ponds (5/16/2008 12:06:24 PM)

Backin
That was indeed caught on a public pond in the ADK's that anyone willing to work could fish.  Actually that is my buddy with the fish.  That's me carrying the canoe.  He was thrilled and I was just happy to be around when he caught it.  As for me I'm still shooting for a 3 pounder.  Plenty of 2's but no 3's for this guy.  But I love the ponds and everything that comes with them.
