This beautiful, remote stretch of one of the lesser-known large Catskill trout streams produced my only trout in two days of slow fishing, a 9 inch brown. Better than nothing! In fact, even "nothing" in this setting is really something! From the Neversink River Gorge in New York.

You've really got to see this one full-size to enjoy it.  It's my first attempt at a 360 degree panorama stitched together with the latest and greatest version of Adobe Photoshop.   From the Neversink River in New York.

Do you ever have so much fun trying to fool a fish that you're almost disappointed when you actually do?  I got that feeling after who knows how many casts over this hungry little brown with a Trico imitation. From the Neversink River in New York.

This Ephemerella invaria sulphur dun got stuck in its shuck trying to emerge.  This isn't exactly a "natural" pose for a photograph, but it kind of shows what an emerger pattern could look like. From the Neversink River in New York.

I saw something strange flying around near the streambank, fluttering on and off the water's surface, so I went to check it out.  I didn't recognize the wing profile in flight, and it's no surprise!  These two caddisflies were joined mating, and they were very reluctant to let go. From the Neversink River in New York.

I'm not sure what these clusters of grannoms are doing lying dead and mostly upside down in clusters on the rocks.  Anyone have an explanation? From the Neversink River in New York.

It was mixed with smaller ants of a different color, and I photographed one of them too.

Back in the late 60’s thru 1978 we fished the lower Nerversink at Oakland Valley. Caught a number of nice browns and rainbows. Idea to fish the area came from Ray Bergman. In his book Trout he mentioned fishing in Oakland Valley by the bridge. Now I think a new bridge crosses over to a camp ground.
Beautiful water but probably all private today. Never made it up to the gorge area.
Any update would be fun to read.
Thx.

Hey, I come out to Mahwah NJ every year from Bozeman MT to visit my in-laws and this year i get a hall pass for the day (fathers day). I am willing to drive to the Neversink Gorge but i have no idea where to really go. So anyone out there know that area? Help a brother from MT and the favor will be returned should any of you make it out to this area.
