Way To Guys, Years ago I worked a Marina up there for relatives at North Sandy Pond.  Had some good times and great fishing experiences.

Nice job guys, it can be tough getting those big boys to the boat

Nice Dennis They are strong. I go up at the end of Oct for the steelhead trout. You should try those fish

Love it up there. I have friends who bought a cabin up there. The Salmon river runs thru their backyard.
Love the run up to Pulaski NY, draging a 25' Carolina Skiff makes it worth it, once your there. 8-9 hour ride
