Tidal rivers in NY

[vpass]

The Hudson is the only tidal river north of Long Island in NY.

What part of NY do you live in?

If you haven't read Ed Mitchell's book "Fly Rodding the Estuaries" You need to get it. Ed covers coastal rivers, salt ponds, tidal creeks and backwaters better than anyone I know.

You can order it on Amazon. I'd give the Used book section a look. That's were I get most of my fishing material and the books are in excellent shape for less than half the cost.

If you live near the City - Jamaica Bay has tidal creeks galore.

Good luck and welcome aboard.

That's a great book. every once in a while I re-read it for a refresher.

I re-read it every winter when the walls start to close in and the wind moans every night.

The first 40 inch striped bass was caught at Catskill, NY 120 miles north of NY City last Sunday.

If you check out the Riverbasin internet site the Owner posts two to three reports a week. Tom Gentalen is a great angler and has over 25 years of striped bass, lagre and small mouth bass and trout records.

RJC--

Do you miss being on the Hudson?

I might be hooking up with Mick 2360 this weekend. We were thinking some trout fishing up in Sullivan County. But I was thinking stripers in Haverstraw Bay. Is that wade-able? Or is a boat an absolute necessity?

P.S. You ought to write your own book. Especially on Hudson River Stripers. I'd be your first customer.

Still waiting for the water to warm enough to draw the bait into the estuaries. This rain has been killing us!

^ Well you're not the only ones that's happening to, don't feel bad. The rain had put a damper on fishin some of the rivers down here as well.
