As usual, some are finding the fishing slooow, some are finding it ok while other's incredible.
Im normally finding fish in all the Winter and Tran.  places. Can't complain. Its been good for my guest's.
Some freshies from Pinevile to fly zone just showed up. Also mid to lower has them.
Nice to see that bright stuff again!
Im back doing fishing reports, etc... every week to few days on my site, if intrested. :)
Thought I'd give you guys a "well deserved break" from my Ramblings for awhile :)
Best Fish's,

Thanks, Randy. I was waffling on a suicide run this Sat. to  the mid-River.  Now I'll go.  Worth a shot at a half-freshie

I was also planning a quick trip but there is new fluid on the driveway, and I don't think 110 miles each way is a good idea until I get it checked.  13 year old trucks can put a damper on fishing plans!
But thanks for the reports, Randy.  It is always good to know what we are missing.

can't get back up for about 2 weeks, but hopefully the fishing will be as good as it has been so far this winter

I'm a sissy.
Got MLKday off and was gonna go up but with a high of 15 or so around here I think the parking lot pool at I creek will have to do.
Half hour fishing half hour warming back up.
Rinse repeat ad infinitum.
Thet were in pretty good since the melt lucky.

Thanks for the tip. FIgured as much but had to pulay mulay, and was sick last weekend when it was roaring!! I may get there this PM.  Truck is in the shop for MLK day.  No redneck foreplay for me and the wife!

Went over to the I Creek playground on Saturday.  A few gents centerpinning and spinning, one or two other flyguys, a large number of non-angling hikers.  Nothing in the Parking lot or under Washington Street. Straight up and down is half filled in with gravel (could be interesting up there when the water warms up and they start to spawn, once the suckers are in and the chrome is done (wink, wink)).  Three fish working the bendway weirs in the Horseshoe, and two fresh redds down there as well (water temperature must have come way up, or late Cohos mixed in with the steel last week).  First trip to 441 in a long time, the old hole is filled right in, but some nice new ones on the other side.  Two guys had that all tied up.  Got a 10" stream trout under 441, first salmonid of 2013! Nice hike, pretty water, definitely beat doing laundary all day!  Water was ~125 cfs, too low and way too clear for a lot of steel to be coming up on it.  Next rain and thaw, I'll have to get out while the water is still 200-400, but it is staying light enough in the PM to get over for an hour or so after work.

Just stopped and looked today.
Steve Santa Clause said he saw you.
Ya way to low now for any real movement.
Steve said he had one on this morning.
 

Here is the skinny, right from a school board members mouth per my dad.
 
The PARISH school was sold to the Biosphere folks.   They are just waiting to cross the T's and dot the I's.   
The Altmar school has some interested folks that are also looked at and inquired  at the other property around it also.   No confirmation on who the party is , but that Genesee group has popped up again in the rumor mill.

The Mad River Club leases land on the Tug Hill, and recently the main landowner sold their property to a group with a Scotsville NY address.  The Wehle family formerly owned Genesee and they are centered around the Scottsville area.   They own a good deal of the land abutting Oatka Creek, and have a long history with sporting pursuits.  Total speculation, but maybe there is a connection.  The Barclay family owns a lot of the property adjacent to the Scottsville tract up on the hill, so perhaps the aristocrats have been conversing.  The Genesee Brewery was bought by the employees a while back, and then by a brewery concern out of Brooklyn in the recent past, and is on or may have been sold from the market again recently.  But if there was any completed sale of the school, you should be able to get that information from the real property office in the town of the property, or at the county seat, as it is public information.
