Nice deal L13. Man 15 min away or driving 110 ? Geesh .. Guess the screen name fits well..
The extended forecast in pulaska is looking dry until at least thurs. Flows are dropping and if I see a grand or less by thurs I may be feeling frisky for a fishy ..

My guess , and only a guess , someone got their head handed to them on a plate after Oct 2010. I thought last winter, even the 1,000 flows , it was great management .

Nice finny friends on the home turf, Lucky. Very cool. Think dry.

L13. Like tuna said, sounds like a no brainer bud.

Question: are those gauges new? If so, it must be the reason they are doing so well up at the dam. If not new, they must "finally" pay better attention to them Just hit the wall in town with the kids. Water looks great. If it weren't for the kids I'd be out on the scout hardcore..

 
Looks like it came online 10/29.   Also it is says it is managed by NY water science center , Troy    where as the one at Pineville   and the one up North  is run in cooperation with the US Geological Survey.

 
 

Don't want to disappoint ya  Hot Toonces but I'm demanding a true indian summer.

Grounds still drenched Folks... still early (as usual) but calling for accumulating rain on Thursday... time will tell. Today through Wednesday should be frikkin hot. Kudos to anyone who picked this week!

It's flowing at 1800 at Pineville and they are releasing 1500 until midnight,it's going to be a challenge for those fly swatters but a float on spin tackle along the seems should be good.However since the upper river will be mobbed with people it might take the fun out of it.

Limited water for swatters for sure, but the water is stable... hopefully fan can get out with his plugs soon... I'm gonna try my best to run some rapalas along some undercuts... gonna be tough with the loss of light though now...

Chilly last and to tonight but man , it ain't gonna make any ice yet for awhile. Sure hope it comes by mid December at least. Oh yea, forgot , you guys are water waders . Lol

Dime probably wont make a run up again till end of next week then Ill be fishing everyday with anyone! Last 2 weeks in November have proven to be my biggest fish weeks on the plugs with 750 to 1000cfs my best producing flows. For sure not this weekend though, snowmobile club bridge rebuild and a major repair from the spring floods.

Yup it's gonna keep me outta the game this thurs & fri. As long as the winds ain't to bad I'm climbing a tree

Does look to be a good one brewing out west.  Up to 1850 tonight.   With the increased flow kept up this week they should stay on top of it.  What is in the air is how much (as in rain)  and how long (will the river stay up).   I am with HT I may climb a tree this weekend.

Probably frozen limbs Friday morning boys... be safe

Charlie... give me as much advanced notice and I'd try my best to spend a whole day with you down there if possible. I may have a little rust on my eyes and shoulders (as twobob has put perfectly based on a changing river with less time spent on it) but I get lucky from time to time ;) and many runs do hold out thfough the years.. My favored time down there was usually now until Christmas timish ... then late January/early February thaw on harsh winter years.... plenty of time my friend
Got my first of the year taste of back strap today... looking forward to Thanksgiving :)

Ditto.
 
Based on ancient memories.

Sounds like a good day, Dime, we'll try to make it happen. Even though I spend a lot of time scrambling over rugged terrain with a pack on and climbing around on roofs repairing slate, I  don't like hairy water crossings.
Fear of drowning?  I came close to buying it, fishing alone when I was about 13. A steep bank collapsed and I went in with hip boots strapped to my belt.  They didn't pull me under, but they kept me from crawling out or moving very far.  Eventually they got unhooked and I wriggled out of them. As it was in early  April, I froze my azz off walking home. I'm very leery of tides and currents.  Confidence is part of strong wading. I've seen Andy cross in the DSR, he made it look easy. I might of made it where he crossed, but I would have been nervous. For him, it wasn't reckless, it's what he feels comfortable doing. Over 1,000, I'll carefully creep along the shore and pick my battles.  No crossings for me!
