Bummer on this one, thats the week of the America Cup.

[Ken Crane]

Exactly why I am doing it on that weekend.  For everyone not going to Aspen come to Skaneatless!

[Greg Gondella]

I got ya, you should see if the NYDEP will stock cutties so it feels more like Vail LOL....Just playin, should be a good comp. And read my post back to you on the trout opener.

[Ken Crane]

Good population of Bows in Skaneatless.  Wish I could afford to take off that much work for Vail and Bend all within a month but I cannot without creating way to much stress for myself.  So I will walk down the road and host a comp instead.  Plus September has been one of the best months on that stream besides spring.

Registration will now open Monday, April 9th at 6pm per Dejon.

The date of that comp has me thinking bad thoughts about sneaking up there for the comp and a little madness in Pulaski.

[Anita Coulton]

Kinda like the way you think, Bob... 

[Dejon Hamann]

REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN

[Ken Crane]

Going to add a venue to this one.  So we will fish Skaneatless and Nine Mile Creek.  They are only 10 min apart and I think will make for a fun day to hit 2 waters vs beat up on 1 all day.

THE DATE OF THIS COMP HAS BEEN CHANGED TO SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 30TH.

[Marc Thompson]

I'm working on trying to make this happen...
Skaneatless was awesome to fish last week. This should be an awesome comp.

And it is salmon run time just a touch north of there.

[Ken Crane]

Yes, the salmon river will be FULL of salmon by this time.

On Skan the browns will be in feast mode putting on weight for the spawn and all the little wild 20cm bows around will be 25+ by then.

Another note is this stream gets stock ONLY with rainbows.  All browns in the stream are WILD and feisty.

The comp water is on the lower end of the stream so its about the size of Nine Mile just less pockets and more riffle run pool like.

[Ken Crane]

A little bump for the event.  6 weeks away!

We will be utilizing 2 streams for this.  Skaneatless Creek and Nine Mile Creek.  Distance between venues is about 15min. Morning will be on Skan and afternoon with be on 9m.

I'm going to look at flights up there. Would there be anyone willing to pick me up, give me a spot in the floor to sleep, drive me around for the comp, and take me back to the airport or close to an airport taxi/shuttle?

[Ken Crane]

Marc,

If you are making a trip out of it, hit up Loren about a Salmon Trip!  I could pick you up and drop you off.  Not sure about floor space yet but would be possible.


Play with one of these bad boys on a fly!

[Marc Thompson]

Thanks. I just crapped my pants.
I will be looking at flights this weekend and then decide. The only thing holding me back is deer season. I'm guiding at a fair chase trophy preserve and may have a hunt that weekend. And these guys and a few bigger/older ones hanging out on my property. Haha




But seriously I really want to fish Skaneateles again. It was so fun. Hitting the Salmon River again wouldn't hurt my feelings either!

[Ken Crane]

One month out.  We should see a bunch of the North Regional Controllers trying this out for 1st time!

Ken

[Ken Crane]

2 Weeks.  I know Aston is not coming leaving us with 6.  Without 10 by Monday I will be forced to cancel this.

Ken

[Ryan Wilbur]

Noooo!

[Ken Crane]

Due to lack of interest this event is cancelled.

Ken

[Dejon Hamann]

CANCELED.

[Marc Thompson]

I can't believe this was canceled due to lack of interest. That was my favorite creek of our entire trip to Syracuse. What a gem.

[Ken Crane]

NY isn't what the south or even PA is that is for sure in terms of competitors.  While we have had a 300% growth in competitors we started with only 1, Loren so progress, even at a slow pace.


She is starting to fish well too.  temps in the 50's and hungry pre spawn browns on the feed!
