Hey guys, didn't quite know where to post this, so the trout section seemed most fitting. Sorry i haven't posted in a long long while, but there's been a lot goin on in my life. For one, i moved, and there's a lot that goes with that to keep me busy for the time being. Also, i got a new computer strictly for video/photo editing, and in my free time between household things and wetting a line when i can, i've been sitting at the computer here and there learning the programs and sorting out old footage. I did, however, come across some of my new york steelhead footage. So i took what i had, as well as some photos from the trip, and used it to experiment with chopping, transitions, text, music, etc. BUT, i did manage an interesting video in the end and uploaded it. If anyone cares to check it out. It's 11mins long.

So did the troll across the street come and yell at anyone while you were fishing town pool?
Lol no but she usually doesnt bother us on the other side of the river. We pissed her off one year. My buddy kinda stole one of her "clients" _________________ ...of all the liars among mankind, the fisherman is the most trustworthy.

I know a local up there and he told me not to go in and support her fly shop because she is such a witch. This fall she actually took it upon herself to walk across the bridge to the other side of the river and yell at someone for casting onto 'her side'. Mind you she had no clients even fishing from her place. When all was said and done she got her butt beat by another girl when she got in her face and shoved her. It was all caught on tape and posted on youtube for the world to see

Michael- nobody even fishes in back of her fly shop anymore because she'll come out and flip. She thinks she owns it and only her guests are allowed back their.

we walk from behind buttons shop on the other side of the road to under the bridge and fish right on the edge of her "property". I think new york state law states that she owns X amount of property into the water. Its the same on the other side of the river if you head far enough down stream. Cant pass through his "property" even while fighting a fish even in the water... Not the same as CT _________________ ...of all the liars among mankind, the fisherman is the most trustworthy.

That's what I've heard too but it seems so unfair. Somebody should take a drift boat and just sit right over her property. Don't drop and anchor, just paddle in once place

Woman's batshit crazy, but she does own the river bed halfway across. Always provides some entertainment on a busy day. Great video Justin. I've never actually fished in town, but mostly from the 2a area on up to Altmar. Hopefully back up weekend after this coming one if the weather and water levels cooperate. Lots of flooding the last few days. _________________ RNA - It's in my blood.

I fished town pool once and hated it. Too many crazy local fisherman. I mostly fish the fly zone up in Altmar across from Melinda's. She used to let us stay up on top of the fly shop for 20 dollars per night up until 2 or 3 years ago when she stopped. I miss it because all we had to do was wake up and walk across the street

If you google Melinda's Fly and Tackle Shop, Altmar NY you will find it. I just googled it and it says it's closed permanently. I'll have to find out if this is true or not. But I don't think you're talking about the same place as I am.

nah now that i look at it i dont think it is. we stayed at the place right across the street from the bar, idk what its called now. but its gotta nice tackle shop, lodging, and a little diner with great food, excellent prime rib, and yuengling on tap. not to mention they clean fish, used to smoke fish, but not entirely sure if they still do, and if i'm not mistaken, think they even guide. great buncha people over there. next time you go up, try to stop in and say hello and sign a dollar to put up on the wall. look for team bubblegum _________________ ...of all the liars among mankind, the fisherman is the most trustworthy.

Always the first stop for food and a few beers after a day on the river. A young guy named Chris bought it last season. Good guy. Always has a Yuengling ready and waiting! _________________ RNA - It's in my blood.
