Only real issue for me with those kinda call is the old folks who may buy into it and call back only to loose their life savings or credit scores to some crook who should be slowly fried.
Never hear of arrests for those guys even though the calls are commonplace.

Geez , I like the ol' rope, oak branch and a skittish horse......My amazon account and  credit card are also under attack by robots.

Talking a lot about yard signs for the upcoming election over on another thread'
Reminds me of coming back from SR Country years back in upstate NY and passing a yard where someone had all their older worldly belongings out.
 
Big plywood hand painted sign said ' PRETEND I DIED SALE'

After 7 long weeks . Countless trips to buy materials and hours that went way past bedtime, we are finally rounding the corner. The end is near. New furniture is coming next Wednesday so it's crunch time.
Obviously there will always be more to do but we have to hit our target move in date of November 1st.
Sadly the last time I held a fishing rod in my hand was may 9th and the next time will be on hardwater.
We dialed the xbows in yesterday to the point of hitting a quarter at 40 yards consistently.
Also got a great score of free stainless steel butcher tables. We will put a utility/ laundry sink at the end of this 6 footer then another 4 foot stainless finishing table on other side of sink.
Fun times ahead...

Great score on the tables! That type of cleaning/processing area is on the 'wish list' for a future build. 
Glad to see the grind is showing an 'end in sight' for you. Will seem like a vacation when you get back to your normal 'just average hectic' schedule. 

Thanks Fisherlady. Wednesday was our 36 marriage anniversary, today my wife's birthday. I met a keeper as we both have like minded goals. Work hard and reap the rewards...
The end is in sight for the betterment of our family. My sister is doing well adjusting and my wife is happy having her in our homestead.
Life is good....

Well ,Salmon season seemed to last a lot longer than I thought it  would after the past couple of years- Still coming in a bit in late Oct is OK.
Steel showing up seem to be nice sized - not just cookies.
Hope things are turning around.
 
Not my kinda fishing down low but the masses seemed  happy.
If I had got up there for low fishing - mighta been one quick time in that environment.
Not my cupa tea.
At least I avoided past due food, generally over salted too. lol
 
Up top seemed real slowwww with the low waters and most photos of caught fish were below the 81 hole to the estuary'
Glad to hear  the zone is opening so some can get  up to fish.
Season long clousure says a lot.
 
IMHO NY gotta start rethinking the extra summer high flows for kayakers in low rain years.
Lots of different folks use the river but the fishery has a ton of cash into it by the state and is a big long term effort.

  There's quite a few other rivers to yak on, some not far from the Salmon.  The state needs to work with Brookfield to establish  minimum reservoir levels before spawning runs.  r3  your absolutely right, after all, many thousands are spent in licenses by people who only visit the SR, God knows how much the State spends on its operations.  The SR is at least a 6 month fishery, oppose that to a weekend for boaters. I've watched my home river, the Battenkill be sacrificed to tubing and canoeing by the state, don't let them do the same to the SR. They will if they have the chance. The DSR may be more critical as a political ally, at least for now, than people think. Money talks, especially into politician's pockets.

Outa staters beware New York States new 19 mandates.
MUST have a negative 19 test 3 days prior to entering and then quarantine in state for 3 more days and another test on the 4th
Presumably you can then move about if thats negative too.
 
Last time around the NY fine for non compliance were up to around $2,000 --no mention of the fine this time around.

Sounds like a border war is brewing for those New Yorkers like myself who live in close proximity to Connecticut and shop across state lines regularly.
