Hotels?

Not alot in Altmar itself, bar some smaller ones.   I think there is one up in Pineville.  Your best bet would be in Pulaski. 
 Steel are starting to transition over to winter lies.  I have heard beads, smaller sacs and egg pattens working.

if you want cheap & clean - Brenda's Motel on Rte 48 - a mile north of the Pineville Bridge. $25 night.

Other places in the area will cost you close to double that amount (or more).

If you stay at Brenda's just bring a sleeping bag last time I was there the heat wasn't on yet and it was warmer outside then inside.

For the price you can't beat brendas that is always my go to place.

there are some deals around from room & board to standard motel deal. Price Range , brendas of course is cheap at $20. many others $30>50 per.. all have their character.

off to grand, daughters dance recital.. K-garden.. oh boy ..
someday I'll give a year end deer report (I have pic's ) and MAYBE EVEN GET TO FISH AGAIN..

Clint & all keep the good vibes coming..

Dime, go check out the Mohonk Mountain House sometime, if you didn't take the path to it.  The porch overhangs a beautiful spring fed pond that is chock full of giant pellet fed rainbows. Incredible wooden structure. I use to climb in the Gunks on a regular basis.There's a reason I can still get around on roofs pretty good.  We use to camp there up top, using some of the walk-ups in the dark. It is a cool place. I've watched some of the world's best free climb 5.13+ there. There are numbers of cool places on the Shawngunk ridge- there's ice caves on the opposite side from New Paltz near Ellenville off 209.

Wow charlie; gonna have to check that out... I was just taking a Sunday drive with the boy ...we mostly drove through but managed to stop off at 2 different creeks that looked like some prime trout (possibly brookie? ??) Water.... my son will definitely get a kick out of those rainbows. I now am living only 25-30 minutes from there so looking forward to visiting there and maybe some of my old time creeks in the western cats... maybe a possible rebirth of the eastern board???? Wink at tuna ;)

Also; maybe time for another BS THREAD??? sorry for the hijack dtrobe ;)

It's all good Dime. Thanks everyone for the info. Is it going to be a snowy mess up there in a couple weeks?

Yes.

Sat. looks to not break freezing. I wasn't planning on downtown Altmar anyway, crowds might be thinner.  No storms  east of the Hudson to worry about either.
500-1000 would be too much to ask for.

Thanks for the info ed and charlie... a little close to home for a stay, but definitely seems like a great place for some day trips and hikes....

Did you move from Joisey to New Yawk?

I sure did my Pennsyl(ken)tuckyan friend...

After living 5 miles from the boarder my whole life I finally made the leap to northern orange county....now, the true question is which state of the two is most corrupt???

again to just stay on topic .. lol before I get to left base..
DT, there are some pretty cozy places in the area , esp for the minimalist. I don't want to get a local debate going but Be glad to steer you in or keep driving.. Just pm me with any concerns

now heading to the ditch..
DB a true new yawker ... well only hoping the grass is greener over here bro..
there are some great (so been told) southern NY trout waters , resivors and streams.. my experience there is nill, always been a northern boy & if you desire to trek north give me a shout.. a lot closer then Pulaski ..
The ice is coming along nice (as can be expected) about now.. Some scouts have been out and the western ADK's have people standing on hard water, as of sunday..

Times are tough, just no time ,,
A work weekend this week then heading north in search of the clear, hard, water..

Have fun where ever your fish may lead you :)
