Beautiful pics. Those streams are really moving for this time of year. Where did you stay? Lopstick Thanks all, glad to share the pics. Even though this was my first trip up that way, I spent a lot of time bouncing around so if anyone ever decides to head up, let me know and I'll give you some insight on the ponds and rivers that I explored. 4 days wasn't enough to cover it all.

A couple of friends and I had thought about a fishing trip to Lopstick last year instead of heading out west, but it never materialized...very interested in your opinions of the place and surrounding area. Jeff was nice enough to give me an area insight some time back. It would be a big help hearing from someone that has stayed on the grounds too! Dan Dan, Lopstick was nice. They have regular cabins @79 bucks a night to upscale homes 150-250 a night. We were in an upscale as Mrs. Bartman was with us and she loved it. Very clean and private. Tall Timber is the other major place on Back Lake and they looked fine for a regular fishing crew. As far as fishing, I've never been west and I can't imagine this would stack up to those fisheries but there are a few pluses. 1. Only a 5.5 hour car trip from the Albany NY area. 2. Semi- wilderness experience. Eventhough you are close to civilization, you'd think you are more remote than you are. We hiked in on a couple of small streams and there was nothing but us and trees. Other than Back Lake, which is fairly developed, not much development so that's nice compared to the Delaware where there's a cabin every hundered yards now. 3. Adequate eating establishments and grocery store nearby. 4. Lots a fishy places to explore. I have to say that all the hype is on the "trophy stretch." It seems that they dump gobs of fish in there and its a big draw. I'm not a trophy stretch guy. When we were there that section was raging but it was unbelievable how many peolple were still trying to fish it with all the other water around. We fished another stream the same day and caught 20 brookies and didn't see another soul. If the water was down the area below Pittsburg to Colebrook looked great and would take a lot of time to discover. I would also try the trophy stretch in May as the landlocks come out of the lakes.

I have some more 2008 scenery pics from all over the northeast that I'll post when I get a chance if everyone likes them. We basically fished wherever the AAU basketball games took us. Yes, that is a rise. Most of the lakes we stopped by up here had risers. |
