Hey gang, greetings from upstate NY... sure have missed all you characters...glad to see the dark side still dark as ever

Are you a Met or a Yankee? No Yankees allowed.

Neither...not a baseball fan, but get funny looks from the locals from wearing Seahawks colors

You pick up that Swine Flu yet?

Keith

No. but I do have a bad case of salmon and steelhead deprivation, ongoing since last fall. Hoping to cure that real soon.
Also it's good to see the Merg making an appearance....sometimes comedy is not pretty, especially that nauseating bikini shot in V Hawks boat.

Want us to send you some sea lice?

Sure, just as long as the salmon and steelies are attached!

NY... you've got some GOOD salmon and steelhead fishing right in your neck o' the woods!

The Salmon river near Pulaski gets good steelhead and brown trout runs. Lots of kings and coho run up it too in the fall... but the water is so warm that they're slugs unless you get 'em down at Douglaston. Better yet, fish for 'em in the lake! You've got huge browns, lakers, coho and steelies out there too!

Lots of charter operations outta Mexico Bay... or buy a boat and fish it yourself.

I almost moved to upstate NY about 10 years ago to run a motel/charter service in Altmar called Cannon's Place.

Hell... I'd say the steelhead fishing is as good there as in WA... and the salmon fishing is better!

Beautiful country that upstate too... except when it's covered in 15 feet of lake-effect snow! That's what ultimately made my decision not to go.

Sack up, it's just snow . ... . . . Like rain only better .. .. .

4Salt, I am really looking forward to hitting the Salmon here soon, from what I have seen and heard it does rival Wa for salmon and steelies. Hoping west coast techniques work well here, also eager to see how the locals do it. One can never stop learning.
