79, the great thing about the Ausable is while it will rise fast it also falls even faster. it's all downhill. right now it's in perfect shape for a kayak or canoe.
the campground was KOA in Wilmington, the Ausable flows right throug the back of the grounds altho I don't generally fish there much. We always time it so the kiddies are still in school which made for a very empty and quiet stay. Wilmington Notch State grounds is just up the road and more geared towards a fisherman, thats where I would go now (or just wilderness camp).
As for the camper, actually my wife bought it. I was set against anything of that sort, I have always been a roughin' it sort of person but I'll tell you what, the thing is AWESOME . I even talked about upgrading to a full driving RV , like a tour bus (LOL)
The EB, well thanks for the invite but I doubt I'll make a trip downstate, maybe , so I'll never say never but my compas always seems to point north or west.
P.S.
Notice those bright red filets !! No stockies there. While we did catch quite a few planted fish we also caught a large number of wild (as could be) fish. Most all of which were returned to spread the genes but those 2 sure taste much better.
got'em.... Welcome aboard brother. It's a cool bunch here and I'm sure if you get the chance to hang with some of us you would fit right in.
Lake Placid is a wicked day trip, at least for me. An overnighter would be better served. You name the day(s) and I'm sure we could get it done.
The Chair
!!! that's not mine.... the thing is like brand new, my wife uses it, here is my chair. Notice the fish woven in !
