Updates from October 13, 2006

This little pool in update New York is enjoyed by many tourists every day, and it still holds a few trout -- stockers mostly, but you can't complain about the setting!

I spent more than an hour casting to several rising trout in this pool and caught only two. Its clear water and tricky currents harbor dozens of free-rising, usually very hard-to-catch fish.

Many trout live in this pool, but they're very difficult to approach. The stream is very small and the pool unusually large, so the current is very slow. The trout have all the time in the world to inspect the fly, and they spook extremely easily.
