Hey everybody, I just stumbled on this site and I have been enjoying the content. Most of my fishing is east of the Hudson Trolling the reservoirs for browns with lead core. I have been considering putting a boat on the Ashokan,  I figure it is 1 hour + from my home in Southern Dutchess. If any one has any suggestions on boat areas or which basin I should Choose I would appreciate It. Thanks, Chris

Hello everyone!

I'm Rich Muellerleile, 29 years young, born in Poughkeepsie and raised in the Catskills. Moved to Phoenicia full time 5 years ago for the fishing and found a wife instead (how does that work?).
A few years, 2 beautiful daughters, and a chocolate lab later I find myself perusing the net for Ashokan Reservoir fishing info and happen upon the awesome article on trolling NYC Reservoirs here and was hooked (BTW keep that article up! VERY informative- shows that there is more to fishing the reservoir than bellies and an egg sinker).
I truly appreciate the mentality that members have here- passing on their experience and helping out. The family stuff is great too- posting the pics of your kids out there catching their first trout, nabbing their first buck, and enjoying the outdoors- That is greater than any trophy any day and exemplifies why this forum is a good spot with great people! Hopefully my girls will grace these pages soon enough!

Tight lines and hope to meet you out on the water!

Welcome aboard. Enjoy the site, it is full of good people that are willing to help when needed. I have a camp in Mt. Tremper. So I guess I'll see you on the stream.

Hello everyone!

I'm new to the site, and have already gotten lots of tips and help on my bow aiming!!!! I'm 24 years old and last year was my first hunting season in the field. I finished the season with 1 four pointer with my bow, and I still get the chills when I think about the experience!!!!!! I walked out of the woods many times with thoughts of shots I could have taken, but I'm much more cautious than anxious at this stage in the game. I have too much respect for these animals to want to do anything stupid, like take a shot that I'm not 100% I can make!

I'm mainly interested in hunting, but am finding that I cannot maintain satisfaction with this obsession as it is only 1/3 of the year!!! So, I'm going to have to start hiking/fishing a lot more to stay outdoors.

I think I'd like to join a gun club, perhaps Northern Dutchess? I live in a small apartment, so not much opportunity for shooting/hunting there! I've been bumming off of my partents/future in-laws property for both privledges!

Well, welcome aboard to all the other newbies! Happy hunting!!!

Good morning Gentlemen! New guy here referred to the site by Pointer who I had the recent pleasure of meeting and doing some laker fishing with! For those of you fluent in German, my name
gives it away (Jäger = Hunter)! Love to bowhunt, particularly elk. My other big interest is lake trout. Spend a great deal of time year 'round on Lakes George and Otsego as well as numerous lakes in the Adks where I have a cabin. Nothing better than jigging one up through the ice! Anyway, very pleased to join the forum and look forward to some good conversation and contributing to our collective outdoor knowledge!  Best regards!

Mike
