my dad swears he knows how to filet em but I've never seen him do it.he is a career fisherman but he will not eat fish so i can't imagine him putting a lot of effort into fileting a fish he's not going to eat.he will fish at the river all day and give his catch to whoever is around him. Al

I didn't realize there was a trail,thought it was only one tree. there use to be a tree at beaver barnch takeout on the wasing with three yellow bands around it.

surveyors often use paint that color.did you notice any monuments or stones near the tree with three circles around it? Al

looks like the frame work for a thatch teepee but the ribs aren't close enough together and there is no good thatch materials in the barrens other then a little turkeybeard.looks like their trying to just make a pine clad wikiup instead.won't keep em dry but will make some shade.good shelter for...

By the way what are all those men over 50 doing out in the woods anyway:-)

Ed this one you actually come into it around the middle though a little downstream of middle.there appears to be about 1.2 mi of kayakable creek but if you did the whole thing up and back it would come out to about 2.2 mil a nice small run. I was out to the beaver dam again today so whip...

I did some nice pickerel fishing in the isolated upper bogs of the tulpehiocken some years back.hiked in once and drug a canoe several hundered yards through the swamp another time.some nice big ones up there.i hear pickerel are good eatin but you have to know a SPECIAL technique to filet all...

I think Risley (a.k.a.) Governors Hill branch needs a kayak expedition to fully explore it's far reaches.I measured slightly over a mile of potential kayakability.there appears to be an ancient dam downstream that backs the water up.I'd bet anything the actual spillway is rotted out and gone and...

Billy you gotta fish eye! made that house look like a silo! I wondered how long it would take you to screw up the courage to post an alfalfa face! you should see the old shot someone got of me over on the cougar thread.

that was me before I gained weight. Al

There are a few nice islands out there we missed but we did hit the best ones.I rated it a 10 because we visited my power spot.If you read this whip the power spot was just to the right of the group photo.I know it's been awhile since you made it out there. the old bike trail that made it as...

the mansion is supposedly a house that belonged to one of the wheatons.thats what i hear anyway.I know it has been a ruin since the 80'sthe burnt wood inside is still present so i would assume it burnt less then 30 or 40 years ago,how long can burnt wood last? the chimneys are red brick i say...

German are you saying that without a college degree or years of experience in an animal rehab the rest of us cannot be qualified to know a coon from a possum? I have had the same experiences with people identifying snakes.let me say there are two classes of people when it comes to animal...

Bob I believe I may have saw a bobcat once when i was 14.i showed whip the place yesterday.it was honestly so fast i couldn't tell you if it was or not.it was the right color and appeared to be large enough and it was miles from the neares house on the west side of union lake and it acted quite...
